Summary
There are always challenges in life, and there are also always thought processes that can help us find comfort in those dark times and even become stronger for it. Listen as Michael and Monica discuss viewing life in its totality – rather than defining our lives by singular events – and how in doing so, we can look beyond the false narratives our ego builds and truly become the creators of our story.
A problem is but one paragraph of a chapter in the story of our lives; it’s nonsensical to fall into the lie that this paragraph is everything. – Michael Berg

| 0:42.0 | And it might not seem fair or right in the moment. |
| 0:44.3 | But if we're able to see what five years, 10 years, 15 years down the line, |
| 0:49.8 | if we're able to see the story be complete, we would never really be able to question any process we ever go |
| 0:56.6 | through. Welcome to the spiritually hungry podcast, episode 55. How you doing there? |
| 1:05.1 | Very excited to share some of these ideas with you and our listeners. So this episode, we're going to share stories, lessons, and sayings that we've heard |
| 1:15.7 | at the right time and that had a profound impact on us. Some inspired us, some made us think |
| 1:23.6 | or rethink how we were doing things. They kind of stopped us in the moment and some kind of |
| 1:30.1 | shift or understanding occurred. And I like the idea of stories. I think that's the way most |
| 1:36.0 | people are teaching now, you know, because we are storytellers by nature. It's how we see the world. |
