Never Meet Your Heroes | Ep. 269

Today, I want to dive into something that's been on my mind lately…heroes, or rather, the dark side of our heroes.You see, I got into reading biographies…and recently, I finished a book on Steve Jobs. He was undoubtedly a genius, and he revolutionized the tech industry. But as I delved into his life, I realized something important. Many heroes are heroes because they excel in one particular area. They're extreme, obsessive, and singularly focused on their craft. And that's why they're the best.But here's the catch…to be the best often means sacrificing everything else. Steve Jobs, like many other iconic figures, wasn't necessarily someone I'd want to emulate in all aspects of life. The problem with heroes is that they're often extraordinary in one domain, but unbalanced in others. And yet, we tend to put them up on pedestals, striving to be just like them. In reality, most of us won't become the best at anything because we're not willing to pay the steep price…the sacrifices it takes to reach those extremes. So, instead of striving to be the best, how about aiming to be better? Remember, heroes have their moments, but their lives might not be what you'd truly want. So, define your own success, consider what winning in life looks like for you, and work backward from there.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!
