#529: Satisfaction

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

What if I told you satisfaction wasn't about getting more stuff?


Or achieving more goals.


I know... it sounds counterintuitive.


And yet, as I've been watching the incredible transformations happening in this final year of Scholars, I've noticed something fascinating about satisfaction.


It's about three specific things that most people never put together: deciding again, wanting what you already have, and the way you cultivate your goals.


In this episode, I share how to feel deeply satisfied right now (without settling), why your past decisions might be secretly sabotaging you, and how to want things from a place that feels amazing instead of desperate. This is going to change everything about how you think about satisfaction.

 

What You Will Discover:

 

  • Why deciding everything again each year keeps you growing and evolving
  • The difference between gratitude and wanting what you already have
  • How to discover what you truly want versus what others expect
  • Why satisfaction doesn't conflict with setting ambitious goals
  • The power of conscious living versus defaulting to past patterns
  • How to cultivate anticipation instead of scarcity
  • Why letting go of past identities opens doors to new possibilities
