That Scared Part Of You

Say Hello

In this episode of Navigate the Day, the focus is on appreciating our capacity for understanding and our ability to reason and think logically. The host begins with a quote from Marcus Aurelius, which emphasizes the importance of our ruling principle, which governs our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. The host then poses a journal prompt asking if we appreciate the mind we have been given.

The host shares their personal experience of feeling burdened by their mind and taking it for granted. They lack understanding and feel like they don't belong in this world. They struggle with problem-solving and feel disappointed with their abilities to learn and create. Learning has become a distraction, and the host feels like they have wasted the power of their mind.

However, the host acknowledges that cultivating our understanding can make sense of the world around us and align our decisions with our values and principles. Learning and problem-solving may be challenging, but at least we are trying. The episode ends on an inspirational note, encouraging listeners to appreciate the power of their minds and cultivate their understanding to make a positive impact in their lives and the world.
