In this episode, Priya dives into the power of perspective and how it shapes our everyday experiences, decisions, and overall satisfaction with life. Using the timeless parable of the Three Stonecutters, Priya explores how different mindsets can turn the same task into either a burden or a meaningful pursuit.

Learn how to shift your perspective, find purpose in routine tasks, and approach challenges with a fresh outlook to transform how you live, work, and interact with the world.

Key Points Discussed:

1. The Three Stonecutters Story

   • How three people performing the same task view it in drastically different ways: a chore, a job, and a life’s purpose.
   • The symbolism behind their perspectives and how this story applies to everyday life.

2. The Impact of Mindset on Work and Life

   • How shifting from "I have to" to "I get to" can change the way you experience both mundane and challenging tasks.
   • The power of seeing your daily actions as part of a bigger picture, whether in work, relationships, or personal growth.

3. Finding Purpose in the Process

   • Practical ways to connect routine tasks to long-term goals.
   • Viewing struggles as necessary steps in building something meaningful.

4. How to Reframe Challenges

   • Turning obstacles into opportunities for growth.
   • Using mindfulness to find meaning, even in difficult situations.

5. Real-Life Application

   • Reflect on areas of your life where you feel stuck or discontented. How can a perspective shift turn that around?
   • Embracing the "cathedral-building" mindset in your career, relationships, or personal goals.

Takeaways:

• A change in perspective can change your life. By shifting how you view the things you do—big or small—you can find more fulfillment and purpose.
• Whether you're building something tangible or metaphorical, adopting the right mindset can turn the mundane into something extraordinary.
• Next time you feel bogged down by a task, ask yourself: Are you just cutting stones, or are you building a cathedral?

Actionable Steps:

1. Reflect on Your Mindset: Identify one area in your life where you feel uninspired. How can you reframe it to see the bigger purpose behind it?
2. Practice Mindfulness: When engaging in routine tasks, remind yourself of their importance in your larger goals.
3. Embrace Long-Term Vision: Keep your bigger dreams in mind, even during the challenging or mundane phases of your journey.
