About this episode

“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm” - Winston Churchill

No matter what your goals are, if you’re going to make progress you have to accurately assess where you are, and what stands in the way of your success.

That includes being able to understand not only the obstacles put in your way by the outside world, but your own inadequacies that are holding you back.

In this episode, I answer some common questions around goal-setting, self-reflection, what to do about overthinking, and the importance of learning from suffering.
