How to live fully and not in quiet desperation
In this episode, we explore how to break free from a "quiet life of desperation" and truly sing your life song. It's all about being unapologetically yourself, pursuing what makes you come alive, having a big vision of what you want your life to be, and more!
This episode is based on the quote 'Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and die with their song still in them' and aimed at helping you to not be like most people.
Here are big steps you can move toward to make sure you live fully
Surround yourself with people who are authentically themselves - in community
Hang out in environments that pressure you into doing the positive actions you're wanting to take, including overcoming your fears
Take inventory of activities that energize you and schedule them
