Summary

“Our brains and our bodies are designed to connect with other people. We are hardwired to connect.” – Joe Ehrmann

Scientifically and biologically, we are created to be in relationships, but it’s not always easy. In this episode, the fifth in a special series of six, Brian and Joe Ehrmann discuss what it means to love unconditionally inside a healthy relationship. Topics include the three basic things that every person needs to connect with others, the vital importance of deep friendships and the reasons why our wounds can stop us from developing the sorts of intimate connections that we are designed to have.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

“If we could ever address the lack of meaningful relationships with people in this world, we could deal with most of the social problems in this society.” – Joe Ehrmann

“Friendship means you get face to face. You reveal your deepest, most intimate struggles and who and what you are.” – Joe Ehrmann

“All relationships in one way or the other fall into two categories: It's either a relationship built around devotion, or it's a relationship built around duty.” – Brian Buffini

“Relationships are always organic. You might have had a great loving relationship three weeks ago, but you’ve got to keep working on that relationship. It takes time. It takes commitment. And it takes investment.” – Joe Ehrmann

I'm the producer David Lally, and today we'll hear the last episode in our six-part series

0:28.2

0:34.9

transcendent cause, which Joe defines as making a difference in life beyond self-interest.

0:42.1

You'll learn how to discover your unique purpose and how you can live a life without regret,

Now here's Brian and Joe with the conclusion of How to Love and Be Loved.

0:58.8

So we come now to the grand climax of this entire series. We've learned how to understand ourselves.

1:06.1

We've come to grips with the three wounds of love. We've learned how to develop empathy for

1:11.2

ourselves and for others, and come in contact with the process of healing and ultimately the

1:15.4

purpose of healing. And then we've analyzed how to experience full relationships in our lives.

1:22.3

And now our opportunity is to find our transcendent cause, to ultimately turn the wounds of the past

1:29.5

into our purpose for the future. Joe, share with us if you will how we can begin the process

Yeah, let me define transcendent cause. Transcendent cause means going through this life

1:47.1

invested and involved in the world beyond your own personal goals wants and ambitions.

1:53.5

It's really trying to look back over at the end of your life knowing that you made a difference

1:58.5

in this world. Right. All of us have been put here for some kind of transcendent purpose.
