Deep dives
Using failures as advantages
One of the main ideas discussed in this podcast episode is the concept of using things that don't work out as advantages. The speaker explains that when we have a plan or an idea of how we want things to go in life, our relationship with the world is a collaboration. The reality is that things won't always work out as we imagine because our ideas live in our minds. However, when things don't work out, it is important to understand that it's natural and allows us to be curious and observe interesting things happening in our minds. Our minds are naturally problem-solving machines and can offer a multitude of other possibilities when faced with obstacles. By being open and curious, we can often find better solutions and outcomes than what we initially planned for, leading to personal growth and progress.
