“You can either be a victim or a survivor”. Such a powerful quote on changing your mentality. Great Pod.

[@SkyesbuTshadmaAcidkit25]

I noticed as well. It's very insightful for me

[@zenhabits]

One of the absolute best KZbin on thinking positive, taking risks, and understanding and focusing on your inner strengths to move forward in the face of adversity!!!!! Listen to it three times minimum so you can also help your friends with this incredible insight!

New to Julie’s ideas💡📢 1) Link between hesitancy and confidence.. 2) Confidence: “Have multiple legs of your stools” 3) The narratives of imaginary rules & limits; “We stay small because we believe these imaginary rules to be true”. 4) Reframe an experience to tell a different story; survivorship based on your strength and ability. 5) Raw Frankness;“It helps no-one to dwell on the past". 6) insight from Shane:” we focus on things that keep us in place..make sense in the world we constructed ourselves”.

Excellent - really like the idea of a progress board vs. a vision board

[@marksoberay2318]

This is exactly my personality, bet big grow into it!

[@reasoningstuff3888]

This was a brilliant podcast! I am a survivor, not a victim.

[@Yan-rh7mj]

The survivors know they’re somewhat a victim. Same as intelligent people know they’re somewhat clueless. Once you believe you’re a survivor. You start becoming a victim.

Control the Controllable.

Does someone suffering from major depressive disorder still have chance to succeed?

[@kimberlyf4888]

Re: the negative as a motivator. What if you never feel enough? Always feel lacking? You might create great things, strive so hard, but to what end? If you never feel accomplishment or satisfaction, do you just go to your grave being a great creator, but still feeling lack?
