As long time readers will know, one of my operating principles in life is that the most important

truths that we need to hear are often the truth that we don't enjoy hearing.

You could even kind of say that I've made an entire career out of telling people what they need to hear,

even though they didn't quite like hearing it.

So for today, Drew and I have scoured through my entire archive and we've kind of pulled out a greatest

hits of important truce that we all need to hear and be reminded of frequently,

but we never really like hearing it. And so we're going to go one by one, we're going to break down

what that truth is, why it's important. We're going gonna tell some stories about how it relates to our own lives

and give you all dear listeners some pointers of how you can implement these truths in your life.

So what's the first one, Drew? Hit me. Yes when it comes to health wealth and love if you think you have a problem then you have a problem I truly believe the most important things in life are self-evident. So if you have a loving relationship, you shouldn't have to ask if you have a

loving relationship. In fact, if you have to ask if you have a loving relationship,

then you probably don't have a loving relationship, right?

If you are happy in your job, then you probably don't have to ask if you're happy in your job.

In fact, if you have to ask if you're happy in your job, then you're probably not. I find that this shows up in all sorts of interesting places and intends to be true about the most important things that we worry about in our lives.

I made a YouTube video about it,

and it got a lot of attention,

and some people reached out to me.

There's a metal band I'm a huge fan of

called Lamb of God and their lead singer,

its guy named Randy Blythe has recovered alcoholic.

He's been very outspoken about it, wrote a book.
