Joe Rogan on his best self

View this post on Instagram

Of all the versions of me that reside in this meat vehicle the best one is the one that emerges after the great purge of the monkey rage and pouring of the sweat. That’s the me I turn to when I need answers. That’s the me with the most love, the most clarity, and the most appreciation. It’s the best me, and I have to work to make him emerge.

Joe Rogan on Jealousy vs Appreciation and Inspiration

I realized a long time ago that instead of being jealous you can be inspired and appreciative. It carries more energy to you...That can be an awesome motivating force that can improve your life if you choose to be inspired and not jealous. One (being jealous) has no benefit whatsoever, the other is an incredible resource for creating momentum and improvement.

Joe Rogan on resetting when he meets people.

At 53:55 of this podcast, Joe Rogan talks about how he views fans coming up to him as just a bunch of people who are being nice, for the most part. And every time he meets someone he tries and reset and look at it as a new experience because it's a new experience for him. That's a great mindset because and impressive because Rogan is extremely popular and well-recognized. But if you practice that same mentality of resetting and brining yourself back to the present moment in various moments in your life it definitely can enhance your happiness as well s the joy of those around you.

"There's a very famous Miyamoto Musashi quote. "Once you understand the way broadly, you can see it in all things." The idea is once you understand what excellence is all about, whether it's in painting, or carpentry or martial arts, that you see how that excellence manifests itself in any discipline. I think that all the different things that I do enhance all the other things that I do." —Joe Rogan

You are one miniscule piece of a never-ending cycle. In fact, you're not even a piece. You're just a holder for billions and billions of other pieces. Whether that's organic components, living organisms inside your body, bacteria or whatever it is, you're just part of the soup of the universe, so just try to enjoy what's good about it. —Joe Rogan

"Be the hero of your own movie. If your life was a movie and it started now. Forget about whatever financial disasters you've had, personal failures, relationship failures. What would the hero of your life's movie do right now? Do that, do those things. We define ourselves far too often by our past failures. We look at our past and we say, "Well that's me". That's not you, you are this person right now. You're this person right now, you're the person who's learned from those failures and you can choose to be the hero of your own movie right now. Write down your goals, write down things you want to improve, write down things you won't tolerate from yourself, write down things that you've done in the past that you never want to see yourself do again. And go forth, from here, as the hero of your own movie. Build momentum. Build confidence and momentum with each good decision that you make from here on out. You can do it, anyone can do it. We live in unique times. We live in one of the rarest times in human history where you can choose almost all the input that comes your way, whether it's the movie that you watch, the books you read, the podcasts you listen to. You can choose to be inspired. Do that. Do that and be the hero of your own movie." -Joe Rogan
