E083: The Grass Is Often Not Greener

E083: The Grass Is Often Not Greener

Author: Ror Alexander September 30, 2021 Duration: 26:32

A lot of people think that the grass is greener on the other side, that they need to "be somewhere else" to get what they want. Sometimes it's true, but most of the time it's not. And for many years I believed that as well, to one point saying "I will NEVER come back to Canada. Never back to Vancouver. There's nothing there for me".

Yet here I am, typing this at my stand up desk in Vancouver, recording this episode in Vancouver, and building my career in that same city I once said "held nothing for me". So I hope todays episode will help you if you're the same as I was, and even sometimes can stat to slide back into. But at the end of the day, 90% of the time, it's your mindset, not the place you're in. 

I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Health By Design podcast. Please share it in anyway you know how, and/or toss me a 5 star review on Apple podcasts.

For men navigating their late thirties, forties, and beyond, Barbells To Buddhas: Train I Travel I Try New S#it offers a refreshingly raw and practical dialogue about building a resilient body and a curious life. Host Ror Alexander, a men's body transformation coach with over twenty-five years in fitness, doesn't just talk about reps and nutrition. He weaves that hard-earned knowledge together with the profound personal shifts he experienced while traveling extensively through Asia and India. This unique blend creates a conversation that’s as much about internal growth as it is about external strength. Each episode feels like a candid discussion with a well-traveled friend who understands that true wellness isn't confined to the gym. You’ll hear actionable strategies for training smarter and eating better, sure, but also reflections on stepping outside comfort zones, pursuing long-held dreams, and integrating a sense of adventure into everyday living. This podcast moves beyond simple self-improvement tips, aiming instead to explore how physical discipline and worldly experience can forge a more capable, content, and engaged version of yourself. It’s for the man who knows his best years are ahead, but wants a straightforward, no-fluff companion for the journey-one that acknowledges the sweat, the curiosity, and the occasional need to just try new shit.
