Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Rubber Puff.

When we're born into this world, there's a lot of things that we don't know how to do. So we spend the first 15 to 20 years learning from our peers, from our family, from our teachers how to live life, and hopefully

with time how to live life well.

So in many ways, life is like a schoolroom. We come here to learn. And after we've learned

certain lessons, like say how to get our first job, then we get new lessons presented to us, perhaps how to be in relationship.

Then how to raise children, how to save for retirement, how to retire well,

how to have loving, lasting relationships. Life just keeps teaching us, and we can until

our dying breath keep learning. But in reality, when it comes to life lessons, we ultimately have three choices, and these

three choices are what we're going to talk about today.

And metaphorically, if we can think of life like a school, then when we do well with these

lessons, we get graded well in life, not from others, just in the fact that our life goes

better.

And if we do poorly, we don't get good grades and our life

doesn't go as well.

And of course we're here to have beautiful lives.

So let's talk about the best way to learn through life and how to live our lives well.

Well, as I said, it really boils down to three choices, three options we have to learn from life.

The first one is not to learn from life. The first one is not to learn. We do something, it doesn't go

well, and we don't learn from it. Then we do it again and we don't learn from it. We do

it again. It turns out poorly. We don't learn from it. We do it again. It turns out poorly. We don't learn from it. We all

know examples of this in our own lives and in others. It is not to judge ourselves, it's

just to realize we can often be quite stubborn, or for whatever reasons
