Manage episode 433342869 series 3553134
For as long as you are pursuing goals and dreams from a place to impress others, you will never be truly fulfilled!
Tom Burden, inventor and founder of Grypmat, knows this lesson all to well. Having invented this product that was featured on NBC’s Shark Tank (where he got an offer from 3 sharks), and being named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, Tom achieved wild success both financially and notably. Despite all of it however, it was through meditation and doing the work to better understand who he actually was that he began to find the validation he was seeking within himself.
Tom joins the show this week to share his story and explain exactly how transitioning from the pursuit of external success to that of internal healing and discovery was how he began to find inner peace.In this episode you will learn:
Exactly WHY continually pursuing goals will never create long-lasting satisfaction and fulfillment.
How goals can keep us in a place of perpetual scarcity with ourselves.
The truth that nobody actually cares what you’re up to with your life, and why your own happiness is a priority.
How we are our own best guides for the decisions we make with our lives, and how to begin trusting ourselves to navigate.
