#813 - Joe Hudson - The Art Of Mastering Your Emotions

Podcast Notes Playlist: Business

Modern Wisdom

Key Takeaways

• The emotion that we do not want to feel is often the emotion that we invite in the exact way that we try to avoid it
• The spiritual path for so many is just another way to say, ‘I am not good enough yet
• You are not going to get to where you want to go by being a really sh*tty boss to yourself
• Enjoyment is a state of mind
• Letting go doesn’t happen by telling yourself to let go; letting go happens when it is ready
• The desire to be special can only exist if you don’t know who you are
• We make decisions on an emotional basis and we use logic to figure out how we will feel based on a decision
• If you can’t say no, then you can’t find your “yes”
• People don’t want you to be perfect; what they want is to feel connected with you
• We know ourselves by comparative contrast; but when we feel joy, the contrast goes away
• The “inner voice” is not necessarily bad; oftentimes though, it is irrational and incompetent
• The key to self-improvement is understanding who you are
• Instead of considering what is wrong in your life and how to fix it, consider what is right and how you can grow it
