Episode Details

If I am grateful for what I have, am I still allowed to want more? Yes, and pretending otherwise is its own trap.

Happiness is not a good experience. Happiness lives in the mundane. But I still look at the numbers every week, and I still want the podcast to reach more people. Eckhart Tolle gave everything away and ended up on a bench wanting a sandwich. Of course he did. He is human. A man I heard being asked about losing it all said he had had nothing and knew he could be content with nothing, so the rest is nice but not load bearing. Have the dreams. Just do not hang your peace on them arriving.

One thing to try: Name one thing you want. Then ask honestly whether you need it to be alright today.
