And what really solidified that for me was plane travel. I don’t know if you’ve heard about this before. Travel roulette is basically when you pack a bag. You go to the airport without a destination in mind. And upon arrival at the airport you book a ticket for under 500 bucks and you go and I remember having a lot of anxiety but I figured you know this this would be a good thing even if things turn out bad it be good for developing resilience and doing this like being in the moment and roll with things thing that my husband does.</p> <p style="font-size: 14px; color: #3e3e3b; text-decoration: none;">And that trip turned out way better than anything I could have ever planned and that’s when I realized you know we we get into this habit of you know this like reaction of fear whenever uncertainty comes up because we’re so conditioned to fear the bad things that may happen that we forget that uncertainty is also the possibility of wonderful things happening.</p> <p style="font-size: 14px; color: #3e3e3b; text-decoration: none;">I’m Srini out and this is the unmistakable creative podcast where you get a window into the stories and insights of the most innovative and creative minds who started movements built thriving businesses written best selling books and created insanely interesting.
