Episode 3677:

Derek Sivers shares two compact yet profound reflections: one on the paradox of chasing goals and the other on handling hatred.

Quotes to ponder:

"If you chase a fish, it will swim away. But if you go about your business calmly, it may come to you out of curiosity."

"Not liking something doesn’t mean you have to hate it."

"It’s a relief to realize you don’t have to fight everything that’s not for you."
