In this episode, I pull off the gloves and get to the heart of the matter: the secret that underscores the Feed Your Tigers podcast. I distill the essence of my nearly three decades in India and the East down to a single lesson that every person must learn if they want to become the fullest version of themselves.
To explain the concept, I draw inspiration from the world’s longest epic, the Mahabharata, cutting right to the chase scene. Here, I narrate a portion of the story, from what is called the Bhagavad Gita—where the hero, Arjuna, stands on the battlefield poised to fight, but faces his greatest dilemma—a massive identity crisis.
Arjuna’s problem is representative of the same crisis each one of us faces at one time or another (and sometimes all at once):
Who am I?What are my talents?What is my purpose?How should I act in a situation where everything is falling apart?What decision should I make in my life and career to lead the best life possible?While these questions are profound and require a lifetime to explore and understand, the Gita shines some light on where the answers lie: it explains how each of us has a unique Nature, and when we are connected with it, we thrive; however, when we’re disconnected from it, or misaligned, we suffer.
I connect these issues to the modern-day issues that each of us faces in a world that puts little value in personal development and more on external achievement—even at the expense of our physical and mental health.
The program ends with a definition of a Nature and an example of one of the 19-traits (tigers) that makes up a Nature, and an invitation for you to join me in a journey to explore your unique Nature, and how you can align so you thrive.
