Eknath Easwaran’s Words to Live By: Part 12
Episode description
Rob ends his deep dive into Eknath Easwaran's Words to Live By with episode 12. In this series of episodes Rob hopes to introduce you to the great man's wisdom so you can use all you learn to help you in your leadership role. He talks about, amongst others, self judgment, inner strength, past failures, and avoiding comparing yourself to those around you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Whatever it is you are endeavouring to achieve to give it all your effort and power but also be kind to yourself. Avoid self condemnation and judgement.
- Identify your weaknesses and work on them.
- You can control your life by controlling your mind. Internal self discipline is essential for progress for yourself and your team.
- The past is gone. There is no point replaying it, just learn and move on.
- Don't yearn after others success and abilities, follow your own path to your own success story.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Yes, judge yourself, but judge yourself in a kind light so that you can have a learning experience, but avoid the condemnation.'
‘How much better would they be if they were to perform equally as well on the other foot?'
‘If we decide to set it aside as something that is gone, that can never return, then it can be of greater value. You can take what is valuable out of it in terms of learning, but we do not let it negatively influence our lives by constantly replaying it and coming back.'
‘Follow your own star doing what you can, with what you have, where you are.'
