episode 22: stop talking yourself into failure

Have you ever been in pursuit of a big goal - like a new career, or working on a degree, or some other challenge - and along the way, you get a little...

Hurt?

Normally, this hurt wouldn't be that bad, but the pursuit of this goal is hard.  And you're tired of the challenging road ahead of you.  So - instead of pushing through, you focus on that "hurt" and make it worse than it is in your head...and you quit.  You see yourself as a victim, maybe a victim of circumstance, maybe someone who's been taken advantage of.  But in reality...were you a victim?  Or did you simply give into the temptation of quitting when things got tough?

We explore this very, very human tendency in this episode, and conclude with an explanation of WHY we tend to do these things to ourselves. Listen here.
