You become the experimenters. You go through it. And it's your own experience that ultimately will be the grist for the mill and the building blocks out of which you get to make your life out of.
Ever feel like you're just following the script others have written for you? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner and Jeff dive into the liberating concept of becoming your own guide—what they call an 'experitus'. They discuss how we often rely on parents, teachers, and mentors to steer our lives, but this can sometimes lead to losing touch with our own experiences. The result? More confusion and suffering instead of the freedom we crave.
But here's the kicker: taking control of your life is not just possible, it's exhilarating. Bob and Jeff share personal stories and practical tips on how to shift your mindset to become the expert of your own life. They highlight the power of personal, physiological experiences in shaping who you are, far beyond what any 'expert' can teach you.
If you're ready to ditch the external noise and embrace your own journey, this episode is your roadmap to true freedom and joy.
