Hey, it’s Michael from michaelrauscher.com,
I hope that you’re having a smashing great week so far!
Let me add some value to your life this week:
The modern world provides us with countless ways of what we could do, where we could go, and how we could live. We have so many paths we can take in each moment, but we barely learned to pursue one at a time. Instead, we walk in circles and wonder why it seems like we barely move forward. In my latest Medium story, I share 5 Practical Steps to Multiply Your Productivity by Doing Less. If you constantly feel overwhelmed by all the things you have to do, it’s time to change. It’s time to make a conscious decision to Marie-Kondo your schedule and mind.
Let’s do one more round of self-discovery journaling to see how unique and special you truly are. I hope you grab a pen and paper for this one. Did you ever ask yourself the following question: If you could choose to live anywhere in the world, where would you live, and why? What do you think your decision tells about yourself?
In one of my latest essays, I wrote about the famous ‘meaning of life’ question:
We all grow up with this question in mind, but no one could ever answer it. You won’t find an explanation of what your meaning of life is. Your family and friends won’t be able to tell you as well.
All your needs, passions, and existential goals are within you, and they will change over time as you mature and grow.
So, let’s decide to face our lives. Even if we work to exhaustion and invest all our energy and time, and all we get is a setback. Because in such situations, we always have two options:
to assume we cannot change what happens to us, or
to accept that we cannot change what has happened to us, but we can change our attitude towards it.
The first makes us slaves of our circumstances, the second gives us purpose. Same situations, different attitudes.
The goal is to adopt a stronger, more resilient, and more positive attitude if you want to find a higher meaning in life.
Tony Robbins said something beautiful about this topic. Let’s take it as our daily reminder:
“The purpose of pain is to move us into action. It is not to make us suffer.“
— Tony Robbins

everything about this mailer is so timely today. || I'm beginning therapy tomorrow - and in many ways, it's the 5th try since I kept ducking out of it thinking I'm changed or am all the better for it but, the dark persists and is stubborn to change, so I must be greatly more adamant and change my attitude towards it. to stick this time to it. it's there to help me, grow me, and not diminish me. it's not a sentencing, but a helping. self-growth isn't an admitting that I can't cut it, it's accepting that I'm deserving of more growing. || your mailers always spark something bright - and comes timely. Thank you Michael, keep doing the good you're doing :)
