Wednesday Wisdom With Jimmy Warden

In this episode, I discuss 5 Life Lessons I've Learned Through Reading and Reflecting.  They are as follows: 1.) Perception isn't everything; it's the only thing. (1:45 - 3:38) 2.) The narrative you have with yourself drives what you do, think, and feel. (3:38 - 6:05) 3.) Motivation wanes and is unreliable because our narrative changes. (6:05 - 8:30) 4.) You are not your thoughts; your thoughts are a decimal of you. (8:30 - 11:03) 5.) Patience is a virtue. (11:03 - 12:30) Take a listen to understand how these lessons can make your life better! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jimmy-warden/support
