Speaker 0 (0s): Wow. 

Speaker 1 (22s): I love you guys. What better way to start off the day than with a positive, beautiful message. You know what that message is? What is your message? My message to you is that this is where you're supposed to be. I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it. I know sometimes you feel, or you think what the hell is going on. Why does this always happen to me? Well, it doesn't always happen. But if you asked a stupid question, where do you get? 

You know what you get, look, here's what you gotta know right now. You are probably influencing people that you don't even know right now. You could be making changes in the lives of people that could be eternally grateful for you. Maybe you're doing something right now. Maybe you're setting an example or your paving a road or your beginning of a project. Something that's going to inspire someone later down the line. 

What's important to understand is that your doing what your supposed to be doing? I know it's weird to think about. I know it's difficult to think about, however, understand that life has a plan for you understand. There's a bigger picture, understand that you are the way you know yourself now is not how the way you now know yourself is not the final form of you're being hi. 

Got it. It took me awhile to think about that. I got a little tongue tied there, so excuse my, my little bit of a rant. However, I just couldn't seem to figure out that little part, understand that who you are now is not the final form of who you will be. It's powerful. It's powerful. Welcome back, everybody. 

Welcome back to the true life philosophy podcast. I guess what? I got good news. I'm on the Amazon music. Now, if you're just searched true life, all capitals where you search my name, George Monte on Amazon music. Cow will be right there. And if you leave comments, then you'll be right there with me. And just so you know, you're always there with me. I keep you right here, right? Your next to my heart. Cause I love you. 

Alright. I know. What's your thinking. Hey, we take it easy. What? The mushy stuff, George, we got to get all mushy on me now. Right? All right. All right. All right. I'm with you. Let's talk more about life Journey and the hero's journey, your journey. I think we left off yesterday with the idea that all life is suffering. That's what the Buddha said. 

And so let us jump right back in with both feet and talk to our spiritual guide are our mythological narrator, mr. Joseph Campbell. So mr. Campbell, mr. Campbell, what can you tell us about the young person who says I didn't choose to be born? My mother and father made that choice for me. 

You can't pick your parents. Joseph Campbell Freud tells us to blame our parents' for all of the shortcomings of our life. And Mark's tells us to blame the upperclass of our society. But the only one to blame is oneself. That's the helpful thing about the Indian idea of karma is your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself, but what about chance? 

A drunken driver turns the corner and hit you pal. That isn't your fault. You haven't done that to yourself. Joseph Campbell, from that point of view, is there anything in your life that did not occur as by a chance, there is a matter of being able to accept chance. The ultimate backing of life is chance. The chance that your parents met, for example, chance, or what might seem to be chance is the means through which life is realized.
