Episode 2122:

Jeff Goins challenges two common assumptions about achievement, revealing how both rigid self-determination and passive fatalism can prevent us from pursuing meaningful work. By exploring how limitations can uncover hidden strengths, he offers a practical path toward recognizing your calling, acting on it, and creating a lasting impact.

Quotes to ponder:

“Finding your calling is not some carefully-laid plan. It’s not a goal you set and plow through life to achieve. At the same time, it isn't a series of random events, either.”

“Everyone has a right to do work that matters.”

“What makes a life extraordinary aren't the chances we get, but what we do with them.”
