John Assaraf gives a short, personal talk about distinguishing activities that inspire (energize) versus those that "expire" (drain) you. He encourages choosing environments and activities that inspire (e.g., ocean views, meditation, exercise, creativity, learning, teaching) and proactively removing or minimizing things you merely tolerate or hate. The clip is a motivational prompt to list and increase what energizes you and reduce what depletes you.

Chapters

I want you to think about the things that inspire you versus the things that expire you. And the reason I say that is I happen to just love water and the ocean and whenever I travel I always like to stay in a place that inspires me where I can have expansive views and I love the color blue if you haven't figured it out yet. And then how do you limit the things that expire you that really drain you that take your energy away? A lot of times I will create a list of the things that are causing me to tolerate, things that you know, take my energy versus give me my energy and I look to remove those. There's a saying on my email says do more of what you love, less of what you tolerate and none of what you hate. So make a list today of things that inspire you. Meditation inspires me. Exercise inspires me. Being creative inspires me. Learning inspires me. Teaching inspires me. Motiv inspires me.
