If we're going to talk about staying in the moment, being aware of the moment, and being able to enjoy the moment, then wouldn't it help if we were focused on what we were doing in the moment?
Garrett Avery's journey through the Western education system taught him one thing: results are everything. Growing up in Louisiana, he was conditioned to chase achievements, from university degrees to career milestones. But somewhere along the way, Garrett realized that this relentless focus on outcomes was robbing him of life's simple pleasures. In this thought-provoking episode of 'E4C: Crafting Your Path', Garrett shares his insights on stepping back from results-based thinking to embrace mindfulness and personal growth.
Garrett reflects on how constantly aiming for the next big thing can make you miss out on the here and now. He recounts his own experiences of always striving for more, only to find that it left him feeling unfulfilled. That's when mindfulness entered the picture. By learning to steer his life based on inner values rather than external achievements, Garrett discovered a more balanced and content way of living. He suggests breaking down long-term goals into smaller, manageable tasks.
This approach helps you stay present while still planning for the future. Garrett believes that true contentment comes from doing your best in the moment and letting go of the obsession with results. He emphasizes that fulfillment is a slow burn, achieved by staying grounded in the present and focusing on what truly matters. If you're tired of the constant pressure to achieve and want to find joy in the present moment, this episode is a must-listen.
Garrett's blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice offers a refreshing perspective on how to live a more mindful and fulfilling life.
