Listen "The Greatest Challenge With Life Is... (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest & host Rebecca Wheele for the second in their series of podcasts of deep-dive conversations about what they each think is the greatest challenge in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
My answer in the last podcast was that my greatest challenge in life is myself. Since then, I’ve thought hard about it and identified that one of the things is self-belief. This is a massive challenge for me, which I’m sure resonates with a lot of us.
I had a belief that I hated cats. Something somewhere supported that belief. Perhaps when I was younger I was scratched by a cat, it could have been anything, but I had that belief for many years. When my ex-girlfriend and I bought a kitten for her mother. One night I was woken by a wailing from the kitten in pain. It had been hit by something and its young life was lost. I was devastated and that feeling went on for days. I realized that the belief I had wasn’t true.
Even with a belief that you think is serving you, you can get trapped in the container of that belief and it can hinder any progress or growth. Being open minded and challenging all beliefs is a really healthy thing to be able to do.
We go through life and, if we’re lucky, we get to a stage where we think: “I need to change this, or if I can’t – because it’s external – I let it go”. It sounds over simplistic, but there’s so much that we can take out power back on by changing how we perceive and frame things.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Until we learn to let go, we’re a prisoner in the goldfish bowl that is our head.’‘Encourage doing it wrong. Young children don’t give a damn about getting it wrong. There is no wrong and we forget that as we get older. There’s a story we’ve decided is true, it becomes a belief.’
‘Conditioning is another great challenge in life. From an early age seeds have been planted, particularly in the formative years as a child, it’s massive.’‘If only I knew then what I know now. That’s the beauty of life, trusting in the process and in certain people is priceless.’
