Do What You Like Or Like What You Do By Roland Majla

The Positive Psychology People

This podcast discusses the nature of human beings as "doers" and the various activities we engage in throughout the day. It highlights the importance of actions and the impact they have on our lives and the world. The author explores how some individuals seek to make a difference through volunteering, art, entrepreneurship, education, or acts of kindness. They question whether there are people who are not "doers" and emphasise the interconnectedness of our globalised world. Roland also acknowledges the presence of anxiety and fear that may hinder action and discusses the positive aspects of both action and inaction. The author touches upon the characteristics of psychopaths and the significance of love, fear, and learning from mistakes. They describe the traits of individuals in the "doer's world," including self-motivation, ambition, persistence, and proactiveness, while acknowledging the potential for impulsive decisions and limitations. Roland emphasises the importance of considering the circumstances and objective causes behind people's actions and encourages raising awareness, thoughtful decision-making, adaptability, and self-care.
