Some interesting points he makes. Especially about people nowadays ‘owning’ both success and failure and what that does to their self-esteem.
Further after watching, I have been thinking some more about the impact of outside sources of influence on my idea of my purpose/mission in life. How much soul-searching is needed to get the core of my being in find my true purpose…
And then there is the question of, what in Vedic terminology is called my temporary dharma (purpose) and my sanatana (eternal) dharma. How to keep both of those in mind, when leading my day to day life.
Nice to have a video like this to remember me about those essential topics. I will go to bed early to wake up early morning and do some planning for this week, with my long term purpose in mind.
Thanks bro for posting!
Hug, Lila
