The Coach's Notes #111: Exploring Life's Big Questions with Zoe Greenhalf
If you’re a longtime reader of The Coach’s Notes, you know that the BIG questions of life turn me on! There’s hardly anything I enjoy more than sitting around the campfire and chewing the proverbial fat with another human. Being able to experience life through the lens of another person is one of my greatest joys. It makes me feel connected and less alone in the world.
I wanted to share Zoe’s Mischief Movement podcast with you here in The Notes to bring visibility to the work she’s doing and to share with you more insights into my personal philosophy of life.
From Zoe’s show notes:
Perhaps, like me, you've spent nights awake, contemplating the meaning of life and questioning your purpose in this vast universe. Well, philosophy-lover and storyteller, Clay Lowe, joins me to alleviate some of those existential quandaries, adding his unique insights to the big questions we often grapple with. Clay, an ex-US Army Officer turned Training & Development Consultant and Coach, is a true testament to the joy of embracing a diverse set of passions and interests, defying the confining norms of specialisation.
What does personal growth truly mean? How often do we pause to question our ingrained beliefs? Clay and I dive headlong into these questions as he urges us to cultivate curiosity and scrutinise our beliefs and habits. We discuss the power of vulnerability, the therapeutic value of journaling and the profound impact of small decisions on our life trajectory. Clay shares his daily ritual, 'Clay Time', a practice that fuels his creativity and sense of inner peace.
In this thought-provoking chat, we ponder on the concept of living life as if it were your last day. Clay introduces us to the Bushido concept of living as if you were already dead and the liberating potential it holds. He also shares his musings on the afterlife and his curiosity about his last thought. So, are you ready to challenge your beliefs and embrace a more conscious way of living? Join us, and let's explore the journey of life together.
And as always…
