Human beings crave certainty. But what, if anything, is truly certain? Most everything in our lives is uncertain, which helps to explain our occasional flirtation with collectivist thinking like socialism.  George G talks about how to think about the tradeoffs between certainty and personal agency, and why some things look great on paper, but never seem to work in real life!  You can learn more about us at LifeBlood.Live, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook or you’d like to be a guest on the show, contact us at [email protected].  Stay up to date by getting our monthly updates.

Yeah yeah yeah, we all know we’re supposed to be grateful for what we have, and practice gratitude. But it feels a little bit forced at this point.  George G talks about celebrating a love of abundance in the face of gratitude fatigue, and shares a framework for making it happen this Thanksgiving! Here’s the framework: Step 1: Ask a Different Question: “What is one thing in your life that you would never want removed?” Not ten things. Not a list. Just one. Step 2: Ask: Why? Why is this thing essential? What does it give you? What does it allow you to express? What version of you emerges because it exists? Step 3: Ask: What would it take to get more of it? Here’s where abundance kicks in. Ask: “What would it take—from you—to protect this thing, grow this thing, or multiply this thing?” Step 4: Ask: What would happen if you neglected it?” Step 5: Finish with this line: “Abundance is not what you have. It’s what you’re willing to protect.” You can learn more about us at LifeBlood.Live, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook or you’d like to be a guest on the show, contact us at [email protected].  Stay up to date by getting our monthly updates.
