| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:11.2 | Our thoughts are so powerful. |
| 0:14.1 | Though they may not have much influence on the world around us, they deeply impact our lives. |
| 0:23.7 | As we journey through life, we have events that happen in our lives. Some of them we like, some of them we don't like. For example, we may meet |
| 0:31.1 | the love of our life, and then three or five years later, they want to leave us. And no matter |
| 0:36.8 | how hard we think about having them back in our lives, they want to leave us. And no matter how hard we think about having them back |
| 0:39.2 | in our lives, they don't come back. But how our thoughts influence us is how we respond to the loss |
| 0:47.5 | of the love of our life. I've worked with so many people over the course of my career who have lost |

| 1:25.6 | to help show you while I might help someone who is |
| 1:29.3 | struggling with their thoughts and creating a reality of doom and gloom. And I'm going to ask a favor of |
| 1:35.5 | you. If you do find this helpful, let me know. And if you don't find it helpful, let me know that too. |
| 1:41.4 | I'm doing something different and I want to know whether it's helpful or unhelpful |
| 1:45.9 | in your journey towards happiness. So what I'm going to do differently today is I'm actually going to read |
| 1:51.6 | a response that was left on my YouTube channel. It was a public response so I feel okay talking about it |
| 1:58.2 | here because he did leave it on a public platform. And he wasn't criticizing me. |
| 2:03.3 | He was just sharing his struggles. Some of my podcasts are on the YouTube channel and I had one on |
