Summary
Do you ever feel like you're caught between believing you're either a good person or a bad person? This kind of black-and-white thinking can lead to frustration, especially when trying to change unwanted behaviors. The truth is, we all embody both positive and negative qualities—this duality is a part of being human.
In this episode, I explore how embracing this dual nature is key to creating lasting change. Trying to label ourselves as entirely good or bad creates unnecessary resistance, especially when we face challenges. Instead, accepting that we're both gives us the freedom to be honest with ourselves and move forward without shame or self-pity.

| 0:53.3 | And we talked about this in a different way when I talked about |
| 0:57.0 | 50-50, but I want to apply this a little bit different today. And I got this idea because I saw a |
| 1:03.3 | TikTok, which by the way, I love TikTok. I love TikTok. I think it's so funny. Anyways, I saw this |
| 1:10.7 | TikTok of this guy who is talking about |
| 1:13.6 | Bob Ross, who I love. But this guy was saying the problem with humans is that we have a really |
| 1:24.8 | difficult time seeing that people are good and bad, |
| 1:29.7 | and instead we just believe like there are bad people and there are good people. |

| 1:37.6 | and I don't know, there were a couple TikTokers talking about how Bob Ross had had an affair |
| 1:42.4 | and how that was really difficult for people. |
