Summary
How to Follow Your Inner Voice (and not others opinion as much)
The struggle between prioritizing your own intuition and succumbing to external pressures is hard. It essentially asks how to tune into your inner voice and make choices based on your own values and desires, rather than simply following the expectations of others.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. One of my favorite things about being a clinical psychologist is helping people find their way in life. |
| 0:17.0 | What I mean by that is we make a lot of choices in our life of how to live our lives, what to do, how to spend our free time, |
| 0:26.0 | how to interact with the world on a working basis. |
| 0:29.3 | And unfortunately for many of us, it's deeply influenced by what other people think of us. It isn't |
| 0:35.3 | what's important to us, but it's influenced by what other people think. And instead of listening |
| 0:40.2 | to our hearts and what's good for us, we often hear the voices of everyone |
| 0:45.1 | else around us and say what would make them happy. But what I find great joy |

| 1:31.0 | but they don't have time for that because they're working so hard to buy the things |
| 1:35.8 | that will impress others. |
| 1:37.9 | When we begin to listen to our inner voice, something will happen. |
| 1:42.4 | We then will be navigating our lives instead of letting other people's |
| 1:47.1 | opinion of us dictate the paths and the choices that we make. There will be our choices. It will be our life. I believe that's a better way to live our lives. |
| 1:58.0 | Many, many years ago I knew a young man whose father was very successful. He had a successful business. |
| 2:05.0 | And his brother, who was allured by all the financial success, went into that business. |
