Have you ever felt like you’re stuck but doing everything you know to do?
In this episode, I crack open a powerful passage from Principles by Ray Dalio—specifically page 186—and talk about the two hidden barriers that are keeping you from realizing your full potential: your ego and your blind spots.
Most of the time, we get trapped in our own heads, spinning in circles, thinking we can figure everything out ourselves. But what if the very act of “figuring it out” is what’s keeping you stuck?
This one’s honest. It’s raw. And it’s something we’ve all lived. I’m breaking it down in a way that makes it real, and more importantly, actionable.
If you’ve been crashing into the same walls over and over, this episode is for you.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
- Why you can’t always trust what you think you see
- How your ego quietly keeps you trapped in familiar patterns
- Why blind spots aren’t just what you don’t know—but what you refuse to see
- Three specific ways to break out of your own head and finally adapt
- How to teach your brain to work in new, uncomfortable ways (and why that’s a good thing)
- How to use simple mechanisms—like timers or checkpoints—to stay aligned
- Why asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom
- The connection between Aristotle’s definition of tragedy and your untapped potential
Final Thought:
If you're tired of staying stuck…
If you're tired of spinning in your own head…
It's time to adapt.
Keep it simple. Keep it moving.
Never settle. Stay tough.
