0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1157. What's keeping you from the life you want?
0:05.6	Alisa Aveyan with nosidebar.com and I'm Justin Mollick. Happy Sunday and welcome to the old podcast,
0:12.3	the OLD podcast, where I simply read to you every single day of the year. Optimal Living
0:17.8	Daily is actually a network of five shows where we read from a ton of amazing blogs so that you can
0:22.6	give your eyes a break and listen on the go. And we have an Instagram account. I just did a bonus
0:28.0	book raffle there and you can actually see pictures of all of us hosts of our shows,

1:34.0	to seize simplicity. In my answer for simplicity and freedom, I've been confused about who and what
1:39.1	the opposition is. For most of this journey, I've resisted the materialism, consumerism,
1:44.8	comparison and busyness that's still the simple out of life. I thought simple living was about
1:50.0	the resistance of the thieves of simple, but I don't think that's it. I don't think those are the
1:55.0	oppositions because simple living isn't about resistance, it's about freedom. The real, deeper
2:00.9	opposition is me. I've been resisting myself, my true identity. My own soul has been my opposition,
