Episode notes
Shared Actualization Beyond Self
- Self-actualization isn't the finish line; shared actualization is the next step of directing your potential outward.
- Becoming deeply self-aware enables you to forget yourself in service to others and build a better world.
Secret Dragon: Insecurity Behind Success
- Jameson describes a secret dragon of purposelessness, insecurity, and anger that he hid while outwardly appearing productive.
- That avoidance led to marital strain, unhealthy behaviors, and a decisive fork where he had to change or lose everything.
Use Honest People To Build Self-Awareness
- Build self-awareness by asking trusted people for honest feedback and by asking yourself specific questions about what to change.
- Use candid conversations (like Jameson's with his brother) to catalyze painful but necessary transformation.
