How do you tell the difference between being in a default state and living beyond the default, but you're just getting in your head about things?
In this episode of Beyond Your Default, George and I delve into living beyond one's default state — what the heck it is, how we end up there, and what it means to start crawling your ay out. We discuss how people often carry historical baggage and fail to embrace the concept of forgiveness, leading to a life stuck in a rut.
George shares his personal experience of being stuck in a default state, working a low-paying job, and living a life he wasn't satisfied with. He emphasizes that living beyond the default doesn't mean a life of ease, but rather a life where one is constantly pushing their boundaries and seeking purpose.
The default state is a rut or a state of being stuck, often due to confusion or lack of direction.
Being stuck in a rut is different from taking valuable downtime.
Escaping life through distractions like TV and bars is a sign of being in a default state.
Living beyond the default may be more difficult because it involves more mental effort, but it's easier to maintain energy and motivation.
People often end up in the default due to burnout, lack of purpose, or feeling stuck.
It's important to ask oneself about their passions, purpose, and people, and how they can best serve them.
Understanding the difference between feeling stuck and understanding stepping stones is crucial to moving beyond the default state.
