Summary
Change can be hard. It can be frustrating. It can feel lonely. For much of my life I felt exhausted by work I hadn't even yet done...I felt like the road ahead of me was impossible. I have no doubt that those feelings contributed to depression & isolation.
I could absolutely still choose that perspective. I could choose to upset myself by fixating on what I don't yet have, on how far I have to go, on the gap between where I am and where I want to be and the work I'll have to do to change.
Fortunately, I choose a dramatically different perspective and my new perspective makes change dramatically easier and prevents me from experiencing depressive symptoms.
Like many of you, I've been moved by the recent high profile celebrity suicides. In today's episode, I'm talking about pleasure, pain, joy and depression. Even if depression isn't something you're struggling with, this episode might help you help someone you love.
I hope you'll listen.

| 0:27.2 | Thank you so much for spending a little bit of your time with me today. |
| 0:32.9 | This is a bit of an impromptu topic. |
| 0:36.2 | I switched up what I had planned to do based on something that I think is very important |
| 0:44.0 | for us to talk about. |
| 0:45.0 | We have yet in 500 episodes and we have yet to talk about. |
| 0:50.1 | What I know for me with the podcasts that I subscribe to, I sort of play the titles |
| 0:56.0 | that look interesting to me but I don't listen to every episode. |
| 1:01.4 | I have no idea if the title of today's episode will appeal to many or too few but I am sending |
| 1:11.2 | it out into the world with the very sincere hope that not only you listen to it but that |
| 1:20.0 | you share it with somebody and maybe several somebody's because even if this isn't relevant |
| 1:29.1 | to you today, I think it will be at some point in the future and I also believe that today's |
| 1:39.0 | topic is very relevant to someone you know. |
| 1:45.4 | And whether it is by sharing this episode or by adopting the practice we are going to talk |
| 1:51.8 | about in today's episode in a way that somebody close to you notices and learns from your |
