When You Stop Loving What You Once Loved | Episode 424

Have you ever stopped enjoying something that once gave your life meaning?

Maybe it's the guitar that now gathers dust. The running shoes that haven't left the closet. The books you used to devour but can't seem to pick up anymore.

In this episode, I explore why our interests naturally change throughout life, why there's nothing wrong with losing a passion, and what Stoicism has to teach us about work, play, gratitude, and non-attachment.

Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do isn't force ourselves back into an old hobby—it's to let it go, trust the season we're in, and welcome it back if life ever calls us there again.

We discuss:

• Why we don't choose what fascinates us
 • The difference between work and play
 • Why joy is deeply Stoic
 • Letting go without losing yourself
 • Following curiosity instead of obligation
 • Why gratitude is wiser than possession
