20 Sep 2025

Description

Trying to Control the Future is Useless (Law of Reverse Effect) The full video is available here: https://youtu.be/VpcQVjSVqOMOur minds tend to try to control the future by creating detailed predictions and then constantly repeating these fantasies and our responses to them. But when the moment we’ve prepared ourselves for arrives, we find out that our detailed blueprints have become pretty useless. Moreover, all these thoughts and mental preparations prevent us from responding to what’s actually happening. However, if we let go of this firewall of thoughts, we create space to let the environment come in, so we can respond to what happens instead of what we think would happen.#backwardslaw #reversedeffort #paradox Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
