If you question why discipline and follow-through feel harder for you than for others, this episode explores why grit doesn't come naturally for everyone. Get the book here: https://sciencespirithappy.com/be-yourself-book/#utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=3_9_des&utm_campaign=book_yt

This episode introduces Bounty, the final Personal Power, and explores how motivation, resilience, and perseverance are shaped early in life rather than being fixed traits. It looks at how childhood environments rooted in scarcity or abundance influence whether effort feels sustainable or draining later on.

The discussion connects parenting mindsets with growth and fixed orientations, reframing cynicism as a limitation in perception rather than realism. Procrastination is explored as a signal of blocked Bounty rather than a personal flaw.

The episode also clarifies the distinction between Beauty and Bounty. Beauty aligns the internal self, while Bounty aligns the self with the external world. When Bounty is present, action often feels more possible because the world is experienced as resourced rather than restrictive.

If this feels familiar, you're not alone, and you're not failing at change.
