Jonny on… The Pursuit of Happiness
Listen now
Description
We grow up believing that we can achieve and accumulate our way to happiness. The mind then becomes the master and keeps us stressed and separated from it. Today Jonny ponders what it means to follow your heart’s lead. Is it not through our passions that we find ourselves at our most spontaneous, inspired and connected? In order to enhance our sensitivity and express our most creative self, just like sport, dancing and the arts, we have to surrender control and truly trust. And that can be scary. Some big ideas: - How to detangle from our limits? - What happens when our thoughts and unpredictable emotions become our driving force? - Conceding whom we think we should be or need to be in favour of finding out who we are. - The power of patience - The simple joy in opening our minds and devoting ourselves to our highest excitement at any given moment - Getting out of our own way
