Peace exists only in the NOW, never in the past or future
The difficult times shape the contours of a meaningful life.
Our preferences shape the stories we tell ourselves; the stories we tell ourselves shape our preferences going forward.
If you agree with someone totally, you lack your own point of view.
Many nice people are not kind people.
Success is not measured by your achievements; it is measured by your freedom.
It is possible to let go of someone and still love them from a distance.
Letting go is loving; clinging is unloving.
You don’t have to demonize to declutter.
Scrolling is the new smoking.
Clinging requires more energy than letting go.

I know I’ve been listening for awhile when Josh says his daughter is 10 and has a “boyfriend.” I am shocked because I remember him talking about his 2 year old toddler.

I always enjoy hearing what Dr Delony has to say. Also, only 1 more month until the Christmas music comes on!!!! At least it will be on Sirius XM. I know TK will like that if he has Sirius.

This morning, at 430am, I woke up and could not go back to sleep. After about 1.5 hrs of tossing and turning I decided to just get up and I started listening to this episode. About half way through I started thinking, “how ironic that I would listen to this episode on this day when I did not get good sleep“. What is also different, is I normally do not listen in the morning when I wake up, but in the car usually. Thanks for the episode, it added a lot personal insight for me. And apparently the universe felt I really needed to hear it, because clearly, my body is trying to tell me something needs work :)
