For me, 2022 is The Year of Meaning.
And what better way to start it than by listening to a truly meaningful dialogue between two of my favorite podcasters and authors, @richroll and @tferriss.
Here are the 7 most MEANINGFUL concepts I took away.

1/ Mood follows action.
We tend to (mistakenly) think that we need to change our thinking before we can change our actions.
It turns out the reverse is true more often.
Start with action.
Improved mood and thinking follow.

2/ Addiction is a broad spectrum.
In some way, shape or form we are all addicts to one thing or another.
And there is value in applying parts of the 12-step program in our day-to-day lives including making amends for our wrongs.

3/ Fitness training is more effective when we have a purpose.
And that purpose should start with the pursuit of a natural area of interest or curiosity.
It's also tempting to hem and haw over the perfect program or gear but just starting tends to be the best approach (see #1).

4/ Taking breaks from our work is necessary
Both to live those experiences that make us who we are...
And to help us hone our delegation skills.
In fact, planning for a long absence can be exactly the impetus you need to delegate tasks that you've held on to for too long.

5/ People are fundamentally good
Despite the common mainstream & social media narratives, we share more than what divides us.
Seeking out real conversations with real people helps us to come out from under this cloud of divisiveness.

6/ There is strength in vulnerability
By being vulnerable, we give others permission to do the same.
A virtuous cycle.

7/ Ask yourself: Who am I becoming?
We are not static.
We are moving toward better or worse versions of ourselves in every part of our lives.
Asking this question allows for more conscious decision-making.

And that's it.
There's so much more in this conversation that is of value, and if you haven't read Rich's book, Finding Ultra, I highly recommend it.
One of the most inspirational stories on reinvention I've ever read - and it happens to be my favorite audiobook of all time.
