In this special edition episode of the Straight-Line Podcast, Johan and Mandy van der Put discuss the newsletter *Real Love*, written by Dusan Djukich. Accepting people as they truly are, and not as we would like them to be, is the key to genuine relationships and connections. This attitude of radical acceptance is essential, both in personal and professional relationships, and forms the basis for an authentic bond. True love and appreciation for others transcend the conventional boundaries of relationships. It is an active choice to fully support and accept someone, regardless of how this affects our own situation. This requires a moment of self-reflection, to acknowledge that our frustrations and irritations often reveal more about ourselves than about the other person.
Procrastination is rarely called “procrastination.” We call it waiting for the right moment. We call it “I’m worried.” We call it “I need to understand it first.” In this episode of the Straight-Line Podcast, Kristof and Johan peel back four of those masks and show that “now” isn’t a spot on the calendar, but a mindset.
