It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living.
Ever felt like you're at a crossroads, unsure which path to take? In this timeless episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Dan Millman, a former world champion athlete and best-selling author, to talk about his journey and the lessons he's learned along the way. Millman, known for his book 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior', shares how his twenty-year spiritual quest has shaped his teachings and life philosophy.
The episode kicks off with the familiar parable of the two wolves, representing the battle between our better and darker selves. Millman offers a fresh take on this story, emphasizing the importance of feeding the good wolf through gratitude and setting constructive goals. He dives into the necessity of taking consistent action, even if it means starting small. As he puts it, 'A little of something is better than nothing'.
Millman also discusses the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing mentality and stresses that knowledge alone isn't enough – it's the actions we take that truly matter. He shares practical advice on how to get moving in the right direction and highlights the significance of finding purpose in life. One intriguing part of the conversation is when Millman talks about window cleaning as a metaphor for spirituality, illustrating how mundane tasks can lead to profound insights.
He also touches on energizing the body as a crucial element of optimal living. Listeners will find inspiration in Millman's approach to mastering the path of the peaceful warrior, which involves stages like dreaming, drafting, developing, refining, and sharing. He even delves into his latest book, 'The Creative Compass', co-written with his daughter Sierra, offering guidance for aspiring writers from inspiration to publication.
If you're looking for practical wisdom and a boost of motivation to feed your good wolf, this episode is a must-listen.
