| 0:07.0 | I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I'm going to share something with you that though it may be hard to hear, if you're able just to listen and really go with me through this podcast, I'm hoping you'll find what I share right now even though it sounds almost |
| 0:25.0 | unconscionable you're willing to open up your heart and say maybe there's some |
| 0:30.0 | truth in what he's saying if you chose to listen to this podcast, there's a high probability |
| 0:35.9 | that you want to make your life better. Yet there's so many obstacles that get us in the way |
| 0:42.0 | of finding peace and happiness in our hearts. Right now you might be going through a divorce and divorce is hard on us. Right now you might be unemployed and being unemployed is very challenging. |

| 1:57.0 | we have to at some point say, |
| 1:59.0 | I accept this challenge, and I may not be able to fix it and that's okay. |
| 2:06.2 | But that last statement I made is so challenging and yet acceptance contentment are the key component of a peaceful life |
| 2:21.4 | of a happy life because the truth of it is, we all face challenges, yes in differing |
| 2:28.1 | degrees, but we do face them often throughout our lives, and the difference between a person who faces challenges |
