• “Pleasure feels good, but it's also temporary. Pain is also temporary. And the mark of a mature self-actualized person is realizing that everything is temporary, and when they can sit in that discomfort, that's where the power lies. That's the emotional autonomy. And when you invite this uncomfortableness in, and you realize that's just part of normal life, then you become the extreme catalyst.” (19:49-20:18)
