The Grateful Podcast

Episode 31

🎙️ Episode Summary:

In this solo episode, I explore the fascinating idea that the reality we accept as absolute truth may, in fact, be built on nothing more than widely agreed-upon illusions. Using Isaac Newton’s discovery of the laws of physics as a case study, I dive into how curiosity shapes human progress and dictates the foundations of our shared reality. What if Newton was wrong? Would we even know? And what does that mean for the way we experience life?

I also discuss the duality of gratitude and ambition—how we balance appreciation for the present with the drive to create a better future. Plus, I break down the difference between push vs. pull success and how understanding this can change the way you approach your goals.

🔹 Topics Covered in This Episode:

• How curiosity shapes reality and why truth might not be as “absolute” as we think

• The power of foundational beliefs in human progress

• The paradox of gratitude and ambition

• Push vs. pull success: which one leads to a more fulfilling life?
