Duke Stump | The Beauty Of Not Knowing
lili added 8mo ago
Duke walks us through how ‘not knowing’ served him in his life.
Some highlights:
Do it because it ‘feels right’
Less focus around what’s the logical path, and more on the emotional - what feels right
Sit still and listen vs give into the urge to do something
Go from doing to being
Replace what’s your purpose with what makes you curious? - Notice the difference in how these make you feel
Keep returning to this one burning question - what does the world need most that i am/we are most uniquely qualified to deliver - when you can answer this, you can hit the go button
The concept of Santosha - means complete contentment in yoga philosophy. Relation to Equanimity: Allows acceptance of all circumstances, including pleasure and pain.
