This one’s for all of us stuck between chasing what’s next and enjoying what’s now.
In this episode, Lop and I unpack why this balance feels so impossible in your 20s, what the real problem is, how we can shift our perspective to stop feeling like we’re always behind… and much more.
We use sports references, share our own experiences, and try our best to shed some light on solving this impossible problem.
We dive into:
-The “future vs present” see saw - and the tradeoffs to both sides
-Why eliminating the timeline relieves anxiety
-Mindsets that bring more peace and perspective
-How we can make better decisions today to create the balance we desire
-Why the goal should be to get lost in the doing
-How tying our identity to our work can hurt us
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly swinging between working toward your goals and trying to be present for your life — you’re not the only one.
