Open to Everything, Attached to Nothing
This episode introduces a guiding principle that has genuinely stayed with me ever since Ray first said it, being open to everything and attached to nothing. It goes right to the heart of what Stop 2 Think actually means, and why real openness is so much harder to live out than it sounds.
We got into branding, of all things, using an exercise Ray ran with three hundred students where ninety eight percent owned an iPhone yet almost none of them could give an actual reason why. We also played with a simple perception exercise that reads as I am nowhere until you slow down enough to see it can also read as I am now here.
In this episode:
- What being open to everything and attached to nothing actually means, and does not mean
- The iPhone exercise, ninety eight percent ownership, almost no genuine justification
- I am nowhere and I am now here, the same letters read two completely different ways
- Diet and exercise trends across my whole career, all really just brands carrying meaning
- Your right is someone else's left, a line from my old coach I still use to this day
Pull quote: "Being open to everything attached to nothing is a decision to at least be open."
Come and join me and Ray for Episode 28, recorded after we spoke together on stage for the first time, where we go deeper into identity, attachment, and authenticity.
