0:00.0	Welcome guys and gals to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Beaton. And today we are going to talk about what it means to have a simple and successful life. These are some of my lessons so far from 2018. And I want to share some of these with you. So this is an accumulation of a few things which I'll unpack for you in a bit. But one of the things that I that I just want to
0:21.9	say first and foremost is that so many times in people's lives, we overcomplicate things.
0:29.1	Humans are masters at overcomplicating and making things much more complex than they actually
0:36.3	need to be.
0:42.1	And so one of the biggest challenges that we're always moving towards is how to simplify and how to make our lives much more simple because oftentimes if we're not paying attention,
0:48.0	they become far more complex and complicated than we want them to be.
0:51.9	And it causes us an intense amount of stress.
0:54.9	Hence, why the title of this is a simple and successful life.

1:44.1	and what their career is going to look like in five years and whether their relationship is around the future and the to-do list and the task lists and what their
1:44.8	career is going to look like in five years and whether their relationship is going to last another
1:48.4	month or everything else that they have going on and they're able to come back to the present
1:53.2	moment it's not that they ignore those things it's not that they push them away it's that they
1:58.2	acknowledge them and allow them to be as is without needing
2:02.2	to attach to them and become those thoughts and embody those thoughts and get sucked away
2:09.1	into the future of those anxieties or or sort of pulled back into the regrets of those past
2:16.0	or the I wish I could haves of the past.
