Last month author, speaker, journalist, and artist Suleika Jaouad appeared on athlete-author Rich Roll’s podcast, and as Jaouad usually does, she gave me some meaningful things to think about. I’ve been following Suleika for a while, on social media and now via her Substack newsletter,
What a great example of how circumstances can remain the same, yet a new way of thinking makes them different. For me, paradigm shifts are sometimes mind blowing, and sometimes more just a breath of new, clean air. I remember one occasion where a shift made me feel less egocentric, in an odd way. I was watching a beautiful sunset and marveling at the sun going down, when it struck me the sun was not going anywhere- the earth was turning. Like you mentioned, it's hard to explain why those thoughts can be so life changing, but somehow considering the marvels of our vast universe made it easier to "let go and let God."
Oh I love this! The thread from Luke to Suleika to Cooper to June ❤️❤️❤️❤️
