Daily Path - Week 2

W2E1 - Logotherapy - Will to Meaning

Premise that the primary motivational force of an individual is to find a meaning in life. The only thing we can control is how we decide to respond to life's stimuli. And therefore, the key area of focus must be the space between stimulus and response. Anatomy of a decision: 90% of the time controlled by primitive brain (fears and past hurts). Work to expand decisional ability in that space. Create space for your rational abilities to lead your response. Learn to pause and design your strategic plan all the way to the end

W2E2 - Logotherapy - Abandon the victim narrative

Meaning and purpose are the engines of our life. We can overcome anything with the right why. Emotions drives meaning/purpose. Narrative that we are using to make sense of our decisions. Nothing to be gained by picking a victim context. Past trauma is hooking an external failure to our identity, meaning, values, confidence. Victim narrative. Create an epic narrative, keep your ego in check, dream big, break it down in manageable pieces. That's your purpose. Big seemingly unattainable goals pull people to give their best. Life's task: overarching narrative from when you were a child that convinces you that everything that happened in your life was to put you now in the best conditions today.

W2E3 - Logotherapy - Internal vs external goals

Goal setting drives our decision making. Internal goals are under our control, while external goals are not. Reaching a big goal is easier than a lot of small goals, because it pulls us through the messy middle, or what the author Set Godin calls the dip.

W2E4 - Jim Rohn - The law of sawing

Don't chase distractions and don't try to understand why distractions are like that. As Jim Rohn would say: Don't sign up for that class. The sawyer was a wise man and he kept on sawing.

W2E5 - Get under construction

Go find raw materials to build more features in you. Accountability is key. Always pick a context of responsibility. If life presents you with unavoidable suffering, don't shy away from it. Realize that enduring suffering is an exercise to make you stronger. Be grateful that you are the one experiencing it rather than any of your loved ones. This is one of the pillars of logotherapy. This battle will imbue your life of meaning and it will allow you to become a better version of your Self!
