NEW EPISODE in our series Why the Rest Hates the West!! Following tradition used to be self-evidently common sense. Of course our ancestors got things right — or we wouldn't be here. Of course the old person was likely to be wiser than the rest of us; when most of us were dead sometime between our late 20s and early 40s, he or she was a success story *by definition*. But things look different now. So different, that we Westerners have been telling ourselves since the 18th century that our ancestors were unjust, stupid, and wrong. Not like us. At all. The moderns were going to make a wonderful new world, based upon their rationalist axioms. Except that now, we don't believe that either. To be sure, we have much higher living standards — and live, oooh, much longer. But we appear to have destroyed the planet in the process, and the future is looking bleak. We no longer expect even to be as well off as our parents — let alone better off than they were. How does all of this look from outside our Western bubble — to people for whom tradition, though badly shaken, still makes common sense? Watch to the end for the slam dunk!

Hi everyone! In today's episode of What the Hell Do You Want?, we dive deep into the power of imagination—how it shapes not just our dreams, but our limitations as well. Marion shares a fascinating example of someone who is unconsciously using her imagination to block herself off from the possibility of change, cutting off growth before it could even begin. How often do you do this? Are you even aware of it? I still have a strong habit of making up stories of what will go wrong, and then allowing those stories from stopping me moving forward. I’m getting better at catching and questioning them, but it’s a daily practice. So what if we flipped that narrative? What if we start consciously using our imagination to expand our world instead of just allowing it to shrink it? Join us as we explore how to shift from limitation to possibility. You don’t want to miss this one! Link in comments

Terry is a speaker, author, and international podcast guest on the topics of motivation, mindset, and self-development. In this episode, Terry shares stories of how athletics and life experiences have taught him the principles and truths on how to be successful, which are intertwined in his book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. The 4 Truths include: 1. Control your mind, or it will control you. 2. Embrace the pain and difficulty we all experience in life and use it to make you stronger and more resilient. 3. What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people. 4. As long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated. Terry gives a great exercise on figuring out what you can control so you can put your energy and resources into those things instead of things you cannot control. He talks about the importance of communication and the formula 7-38-55 in which he learn during his law enforcement days, and how a professor challenged him to go deeper in conversations with others in asking just three questions.
