Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Your calendar is not an empty container. It is a landscape of invisible energy and emotion associated with all the things that are going on in your life.
Trust your gut. Do your duty.
Maybe it will work out. Maybe it won't.
The hero does it anyway.
Courage Is Calling
Ryan Holiday
If we can notice that we're caught up in emotions, then we can stop our story lines from blossoming into full-blown dramatic operas. If we can notice when we're getting angry or depressed or vengeful, such awareness gives us the ability to choose another response. Instead of justifying our anger, we can take time to calm down and select another reaction that would be more helpful in the situation. Instead of quickly seeking revenge, we could pause long enough to more fully understand the causes that led to another's offensive behavior. Pausing before reacting is the easiest way to shift from drama queen to warrior.
The pause is so powerful because it gives us time to quiet the mind. And once we do, we discover that gentleness, decency and bravery are available.
