Dave Hollis says whenever a change is introduced into your life, it
shakes your identity. In this episode, Dave and Tina backtrack
elements of Dave’s life that led him to unearth nuggets of wisdom
about navigating change, hard times, narrating your own story, and
a methodology of setting goals and getting after
them.
What makes Dave special is he traces lessons of life back to his
own chapters of life as President of Theatrical Distribution at the
Walt Disney Company and how leaving that role and entering the
unpredictable world of the entrepreneur shook his identity. He
talks about stepping into your unique gifts and finding humanity in
your struggle. About not worrying about the
“what
if’s” and
“how
long’s” and instead of appreciating the gifts of the current
moment.
Two Notes to Younger Self:
-
The things you think will make you happy, will not.
-
Find happiness, hope, and gratitude in your current situation
because it’s all you have.
Three Questions to Ask:
-
Where did the story come from?
-
Does the storyteller have credibility?
-
Do they have credibility on this topic?
Gift Yourself:
Recognize the humanity in your struggle. Once you do, you’ll give
yourself two things…
-
You’ll find other people going through similar experiences as you
and will make you feel less alone.
-
You’ll open the possibilities of accepting help. Suffering thrives
in darkness, so by opening to others, others in similar situations
might have a hack or tool to help you.
Setting your vision and goals:
Set a clear vision of yourself 5 to 10 years from now. Then take a
look at your 5 areas of health
(mental,
emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational) and see how you can
advance each of them with small goals for the next 3 to 6 months in
whatever environment you find yourself in.
Highlights
-
“When you accomplish a goal, you reframe what you had believed you
had the capacity for.”
—Dave
Hollis
-
“Struggle is universal. The headwinds, grief, and hard times are a
reflection of your humanity. It’s not a reflection of you being
weak or broken.” — Dave Hollis
-
“Friction is breaking down the muscle so you can build it back
up.”
—Dave
Hollis
-
“Leave the dock of something certain, for growth sits outside the
choppy waters of the harbor.” — Dave Hollis

Thank you to my wonderful sponsor Momentous and Tracksmith for

Being a tough year with
additional stresses on top of an already overwhelming situation
means sleep can often be lost...but it is the one thing that we
know would help us. Being a former insomniac, I know the
frustration going to bed early, yet being unable to switch your
brain off can bring. These Momentous Elite Sleep capsules are
fantastic and contain Melatonin, Magtein® (Magnesium L-threonate),
and Wild Jujube Seed Extract which together will help reduce
nighttime anxiety, gently fall asleep and improve circadian rhythm
to achieve higher quality sleep.
