Back to EpisodesEpisode 7: Embracing the Flow of Life: The Balance Between Letting Go and Acceptance
Description
On today's episode, Brennan talks about the difference between discipline and acceptance (letting go and taking action, recovering and working, etc)
People tend to struggle with the balance between discipline and acceptance. Some people struggle with discipline. Their life isn’t going how they want it to, but there are things they could do to improve their situation. For example, you might be struggling with your health, but you don’t go to the gym regularly and you eat a bunch of junk food. Or your marriage might be on the rocks, but you are a jerk to your partner most of the time.
Other people have the opposite problem—they struggle with acceptance. The reality is that even if we maximize our effort and discipline, there will be some things in life that won’t turn out how we want them to be. There are limits to what we can control.
