175: Self-Love or Shame— What Motivates Your Actions? with Shawn French
Manage episode 424041023 series 3580255
“You do not want it to come easy, because if it does, it wasn't worth a damn thing.” —Shawn French
Self-love is not a destination or end point but rather a continuous escalation into personal mastery. And along this path, we are confronted by two profound emotions: love and shame. These heavy hitters can steer our actions in very different directions and outcomes. By evaluating our motivations, we can make the necessary changes to achieve what we want in life and be where we want to be in our journey.
The author of Unstoppable and host of The Determined Society Podcast, Shawn French, came to the understanding that despite his positive behavior, his underlying motivations stemmed from self-embarrassment. Gradually, Shawn taught himself to meet his own shortcomings with compassion and leniency. Currently, he lends his insights as a coach to athletes, guiding them in cultivating self-love as they endeavor to achieve their objectives.
Join in as Daniel and Shawn share their wisdom in coping with feelings of surrender, exhaustion from pain and unending adversities, and discouragement from past mistakes. They also talk about how unreleased emotions affect our confidence and drive, how our perception affects our reality, why we need to get rid of the old us, and how our environment controls our progress.
