Summary
Saying Yes To Life
We struggle with life on so many levels. However, there is a beneficial "skill" or "technique" that can alleviate our suffering. It involves "saying yes to life" in all circumstances after we have done everything we can at the moment to improve our lives. Embracing what we can't control frees our minds from suffering, and we don't have to struggle so much.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We struggle in life. Sometimes we struggle a little. Sometimes life is very challenging. |
| 0:15.0 | There are bills to be paid, |
| 0:18.0 | there are illnesses to be treated. |
| 0:20.0 | There are world events that sometimes keep us up at night because of our fears of what's going to happen. |
| 0:27.0 | Sometimes in our interpersonal relationships, there are just struggles, things that make it hard living our life. |
| 0:37.0 | So how do we change this? |
