| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Do you remember being younger or you may be younger yourself right now, |
| 0:11.0 | dreaming of the future and all the wonderful things you can |
| 0:15.0 | accomplish in life? Perhaps we took our first art course and we dream of |
| 0:19.8 | becoming the next Picasso or we're into physics and we dream of being the next Einstein, |
| 0:26.7 | or perhaps we're really good at speech and we think about being the president of our |

| 1:21.2 | doctorate and become a surgeon and be the envy of all. |
| 1:25.8 | But there's also that sense of awareness that we might fail. |
| 1:30.3 | We may not accomplish things, and not that we may really fail at life. |
| 1:36.0 | Some of us may be fearful of going to prison. |
| 1:39.0 | Others of us may be fearful of never leaving our hometown and doing the same dead-end job that our parents do. |
