We talk a lot about “progress” and “success” - but both of those things are illusions. We are not headed anywhere. We are already there. Things aren’t moving along some trajectory from the past into the future. Things are what they are, right now. Because now is all there is. So what is success? We often think that it’s getting something that we want, trying to make something happen. In other words, trying to CONTROL what is happening. But control is also an illusion. The only thing you need to do is take stock of what is happening at this very moment, and make the best decision that you can make about what you’re going to do. We talked about this in the last episode - anything is possible. You just need to make a choice. Do not try to predict the future. Do not try to resuscitate the past. Just figure out what’s going on, and do what you need to do. Success isn’t control, success is freedom of choice. Freedom isn’t a number. It is a state of being. Freedom isn’t something you can calculate. Freedom isn’t something that you can model.   Hosted by Duff McDonald and Matt McButter Theme music by Paul Reddick, Kyle Ferguson, and Steve Marriner Featuring Music from Chris Zabriskie More info at StoricMedia.com     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
