Please support the podcast by following Reality Hub on Instagram, Facebook and on Youtube for future videos and visit our website http:\/\/www.realityhub.love\/ where you can also listen to the podcast online and read Rob\u2019s blog!     Here\u2019s some motivational quotes of inspiration that you may apply to your life and make them a ritual! One thing I love is inspirational quotes or parables or life lessons people have learned and shared to help other people\u2026 Celebrating the little wins on a daily basis no matter how big or small\u2026all too often we are looking forward to the big prize or the big achievements in life - the new job, the holiday away, finally meeting someone special , reaching a health and fitness goal etc like your morning cup of coffee, a chat with a friend, a sunshine day, a hot shower, a good nights sleep, food on the table, a healthy body. When in reality every day above ground is a good day and it\u2019s the tiny incremental steps and course corrections that lead to these goals we have. It\u2019s those seemingly inconsequential things we do consistently that get us to where we want\u2026 It was Simon Sinek who made popular the idea that you go to gym and train one day and you won\u2019t see results, the same the following day\u2026 it\u2019s only after a consistent period of time, of micro improvements. That we can step back and see the progress we\u2019ve made\u2026life is all about the long game, the journey which leads me to inspiration #2 \u201cThe man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination\u2026so what\u2019s happened along that process? You\u2019ve learned to love the journey, and when you love the journey the goals just happen, you hit milestones as a side effect, that\u2019s cool, but I don\u2019t love it as much as I love the journey..\u201d Sal Di Stefano In our culture of aspiration and success we celebrate the win which is only natural, but it\u2019s important that we don\u2019t fall into \u201cdestination addiction\u201d where we are only focused on the prize and not the process and what we learn as a result of the journey\u2026as we know the peaks in life can only exist with the valleys. One thing I always talk about is honouring who you are and getting to know thyself. That journey of inner exploration and growth as we continue our souls journey and something David Goggins mentions surrounding overcoming insecurity\u2026we all as a part of being human compare ourselves to those around us\u2026 we are often drawn to people who seemingly have the qualities we admire and want for ourselves, when of course this is merely a reflection of what we also hold. But what David Goggins realised was to stop caring about what other people thought of him\u2026in his words \u201che had to stop giving a fuck,  I realised that everybody is fucked up\u2026 I was walking around and I put these people up on a pedestal, everybody was better than me, so I can\u2019t tell you anything about me because you\u2019re going to judge me..and I\u2019m gonna feel even worse than I am. What I realised when I calmed my mind down and stood back was just how jacked up this world is. once you realise you are not alone and that everybody hats talking to you about how jacked up you are, only thing they have done better than you is they\u2019ve hidden their fucked up world better than you have\u201d Wow, there\u2019s something to think about! How often have you caught yourself thinking how much better other people seem to have it, or have it all together and you don\u2019t? One thing I\u2019ve learned and to remind myself things aren\u2019t always as they seem, esp in this hyped up social media world on insta reels and stories which only give us a highlight or curated moment without seeing the full story or reality\u2026 It reminds me of a story when I took a visiting overseas friend out to a spectacular west coast beach. As I do I love taking pics of natural scenery and she said how we can never capture this moment by a picture, the picture merely is a representation of this moment or the subject you\u2019re trying to capture. Which got me thinking\u2026it\u2019s true, nothing beats the real thing, having a direct visceral experience. Lastly I\u2019ll leave you with the daily gratitude of 5 things to be grateful of\u2026which ties in with celebrating the little wins At the end of each day think of 5 things you were grateful for. Once again no matter how big or small It could the fact you made it through the day, you did some form of exercise, you got your self out of negative mindset\u2026 As always, thanks for listening and be well...   ","author_name":"Reality Hub","author_url":"https:\/\/www.realityhub.love","html":"
