You’re Not Broken — Success Is What’s Keeping You Empty
Choose your preferred written, video or audio version: - Read the full post below or on my blog. - Listen to the podcast on Soundcloud, or Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. - Watch the video version on YouTube. ---- Why Do the Most Successful People Often Feel the Most Unsatisfied? Today, we’re going to have a look at why even successful CEOs, C-suite, and top leaders feel unhappy—and look at something called imposter syndrome and the paradox of success. I’ve been coaching high achievers since 2013, and I’ve noticed trends where people who are often successful by everybody else’s standards are also often miserable. Why does high achievement negatively correlate with satisfaction and enjoyment of life? I’ll start by sharing a story about one of my clients, Lynn, who has basically crushed it since she was a teen. She has come from a difficult home environment, and she took that as motivation and ambition to get out on her own, to be independent, to never be controlled by anyone. And so she went out there and she crushed it, job after job. She climbed the ladder. She just got better and better at what she did. She got more and more responsibility, and of course got paid more. It seems like every time one door closed, 20 other doors opened. She’s just kept doing better and better, and yet still she feels not good enough. Still she feels like she’s an imposter—that she’s going to be found out as being a fraud who isn’t really deserving of the success she’s had. She’s hyper-focused on her failures and weaknesses, completely dismissing or overlooking the massive achievements she’s made over decades.

Great tip from Haris
Brotherhood veteran @Haris Naz came up with a great idea: a treadmill. I've seen a few people do this now, installing a walking treadmill for while they're working. Haris discovered that this also unlocks all kinds of solutions for mental and emotional issues as well. So often, the answer to whatever's plaguing you is simply "Go for a walk" (or "move your body").

Dealing with Difficult People: a Quote from Marcus Aurelius
I've studied Stoicism on and off over the last few years, and have found it helpful in many ways. One way is in my approach to dealing with difficult people, largely influenced by the following quote from Marcus Aurelius: "When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own—not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands, and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are obstructions." It's kind of deep, but I think one thing that we can take away from it is that people are people, imperfect in nature, and expecting the worst from them helps us brace ourselves for our interactions with them. Furthermore, we can even GROW from our intereactions with them. I try to tell myself, when dealing with difficult colleagues and students, to be 'grateful' for them, and to see my interactions with them as 'training in patience and tolerance'. I think Ryan Holiday has discussed this in some of his YT videos before as well... Maybe that's where I got it from. So, welcome the difficult people in your lives! Thank them! LOVE THEM! They were placed there to challenge you, to make you grow, to make you improve, and by approaching them with the right mindset, you will! Furthermore, it is their nature to be that way, so don't become angry with them! As a Stoic (I forget which one) once said, "are you going to hate a fox for going into your chicken coop?" and "If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?!?" 🤣
