In this solo episode of the Dare to Dream podcast, I (Vincent) share my recent experiences in Osaka and Kyoto, reflecting on the value of letting go of expectations and embracing the reality of the situation. I discuss viewing ourselves and life as a weather system; there’s nothing to change, hold on to, or worry about. Life is weather. Some days are sunny and the next are rainy. I like the beach in the sun and I like to be cozy in the rain. All seasons of life have their pros and cons. To flow

The Dare to Dream Podcast ·

2024/11/22

There is nothing to solve right now. There is nothing to be right now. There is nothing to fix, to understand, to discover, to heal. There is no finish line that you must reach which will mean you’ve finally made it. Tune out the noise on social media and elsewhere that says we must do more and be more now. That’s not reality. Achieving our goals takes patience. Patience plus consistently doing the work over a long enough period of time—years, or even decades—will take you further than you

What is the meaning of suffering? It isn’t something we ask for, yet suffering afflicts every human being in some capacity, whether physically, emotionally, spiritually, or existentially (perhaps it’s all the same). It’s how we respond to what we can’t control in life that defines our time on planet Earth.“You desire to know the art of living, my friend?” said Henri Frédéric Amiel, the 19th-century Swiss philosopher and poet. “Make use of suffering.” In this episode, Gregory and Vincent discuss

I don’t know what the hell is going to happen next—yet, I feel a peace I haven’t had in a long time.

Vinny here. I've realized that I couldn't move forward with my life and heal the chronic back pain that I've dealt with for the past six years until I learned to love myself, here, now, exactly as I am. I've felt guilt. Shame. Anger. Sadness. I thought they were all due to the chronic pain, but the pain was just a mask for the underlying emotions. I felt unworthy of certain things; these feelings simply don't help us. We all feel them. We're human. It's not always as
