+1: #1 - +1 or -1 = Destiny Math - a podcast by Brian Johnson

In our last +1, we had fun applying Rumi’s wisdom that God turns us from one feeling to another so we have two wings to fly and not one.

 

 

He tells us: “If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?”

 

 

If you want to be polished (aka Optimized!!), how do you expect to get there if you’re irritated by every little rub of life?

 

 

It’s those “rubs” (aka challenges!) that are MAKING YOU SO SHINY!!!

 

Rumi also tells us: “This discipline and rough treatment are a furnace to extract the silver from the dross. This testing purifies the gold by boiling the scum away.”

 

 

 

We need to embrace all the little rubs antifragile-style as we step into the furnace so we can burn the scum away. 

 

 

 

 

And that the challenges you’re facing today are simply opportunities for you to actually APPLY all these tools to get a little shinier?
