Dr. Paul Conti

I'm snapping.

I'm jumping at people.

What is going on in me?

I want to go look at that instead of turning away from it.

That's how I stay generative.

When I'm generative, I can look at the problems in me because I'm coming from what's going right, including the human birthright of the generative drive and the good that it leads me to do.

each day.

So an example would be the person who gets up in the morning and says, oh, all I'm going to do is I'm going to wake up and I'm going to do things for other people.

I'm going to check boxes and check.

I'm going to be exhausted at the end of the day and I'm going to get in bed.

You tell me how that's generative or how there's any goodness in that.

I would say.

Don't fall victim to cynicism.

That's all generative.

You have no expectation that pleasure is going to come to you from any of this all day, but you get up and you do it anyway.

There's a lot going right in you.

There's a lot that's inspiring you.

Look how resilient you are.

Look at your perseverance.

Let's talk about why you're doing that.
