It's not the box that society puts us in that limits who we become.
It's the box we put ourselves in.
Hey guys, this is Jonathan Fields from good Life Project and today I have another good life project riff short and sweet thought piece that kind of takes you inside something that maybe will help unlock one of the paths or processes or secrets to a life well lived.
Today's episode is brought to you by Camp GLP, that is our once a year gathering for entrepreneurs, makers, and world shakers.
We literally take over an amazing sleepaway camp to create summer camp for adults with a strong focus on really creating a fantastic life and also building something deeply meaningful in the world.
If that sounds awesome to you, check out the details@goodlifeproject.com camp or or just check the link in the show notes.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
So we are the primary authors of the thoughts, words and limitations that tend to do the most damage to our potential.
It's the stories we tell ourselves, the lies that stop us from taking action.
There's no mystery to success in any field.
It's a process of moving through what I call the thrashing honing direction and then acting consistently every single day.
Action, however, ain't easy, especially action that exposes you to judgment or to the unknown.
Joseph Campbell's Abyss we don't like being in that place where we don't know how things are going to turn out.
So our seemingly rational brains conjure up all manner of reasons not to act.
But in doing so, they also keep us from what Campbell said lies deep inside that abyss, our treasure.
This is the first in a series about lies we tell ourselves that keep us from success.
And with each new offering in the series, we'll do a bit of myth busting and box breaking, and then offer something to do.
First up, the I don't have time myth.
So there are people in this world for whom this claim is valid.
