| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. There's a lot of reasons why we miss out on happiness in our lives. |
| 0:14.0 | But do you know one of the biggest ones is? |
| 0:17.0 | We miss out on life because we're not present |
| 0:22.0 | and we're not paying attention. |
| 0:25.0 | Instead, we have all our conditioning, all our prejudices, all our preconceived notions about life and in that process and all that |
| 0:36.4 | beziness in our heads we miss out on life. A simple way of seeing this is when we meet a person for the first time, before they say one |
| 0:50.4 | word and talk to us, we probably have seriously evaluated them. We look at what |
| 0:57.6 | they're wearing, we look at their skin color, the way their hair has been cut, the wrinkles on their face, whether they're |

| 1:42.0 | When we met them, we just stayed quiet. We didn't evaluate them for anything. |
| 1:50.3 | We didn't expect anything to come out of their mouths. We didn't assume anything. |
| 1:55.9 | We just met them and remained opened in our hearts and opened in our minds so that we could truly discover who they are and that |
| 2:08.7 | discovery would take time, it would take effort, it would take effort. |
| 2:13.0 | It would take getting time to know them, asking questions, |
| 2:17.0 | spending time with them, really listening. |
| 2:21.0 | And if we did that, I believe we would find we would meet a very different person. |
