Summary

In today's episode, we're understanding the difference between pain and suffering. Pain, my friends, is part of our journey – it's those unavoidable bumps we hit along the road of life. But suffering? That's a whole different story. It's more about how we choose to react to these bumps. Let's explore this together! We'll take a little trip back to our childhood days. Remember when we were kids, just being our goofy, authentic selves? But as we grew, things changed. We learned to adjust ourselves for acceptance, love, and to fit in – both with our families and society. It's kind of like putting on different masks to match different stages of our lives. But here's the catch – in doing so, many of us lost touch with who we truly are. This episode is all about rediscovering and embracing our true selves. Whether we've tried and failed to be someone else, or even succeeded in it, the real victory lies in accepting and loving our genuine selves. It's not just about the shiny, happy parts, but also those quirky, not-so-perfect bits. Because guess what? That's what makes us wonderfully human! I'm here to guide you on this beautiful, lifelong journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It's not a sprint; it's a marathon with no finish line. And it's all about learning to love every part of ourselves – the good, the bad, and everything in between.

0:28.8	Today we're going to talk about where most human suffering comes from. Before I do that I want to talk to about the difference
0:35.0	difference really quickly between pain and suffering because we kind of put the
0:39.7	two things together but they're two completely different things. So pain is basically life. There is pain.
0:46.9	Pain is inevitable and pain is not always in your control. So things happen in life. You will, you know know people getting car accidents people you love will die people will get sick

1:11.4	unconscious decision but is actually our decision where we continue to suffer.
1:17.0	And there's a couple of reasons why we suffer, and the reason that we kind of suffer, I'm going to start way back in childhood and I'm going to kind of give you my idea and what I've noticed about people.
1:30.8	Because for me, doing what I do now for 18 years, so literally almost half my life basically,
1:36.5	I'm always thinking like why are people this way? Why is it that so many people have this feeling deep down inside them, this paradigm, this identity
1:46.1	of I'm not enough, I'm not good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or I'll never be successful
1:50.7	to ever make enough money, I might not be able to support my children, what if this happens,
1:54.0	what if that happens? And so if we go back to childhood, when you look at a child and you look at a young
2:00.0	child, they're their true selves. Like if you ever see like a one-year-old, a two-year-old,
2:04.2	a three-year-old, they are their true selves.
2:07.1	And, you know, things happen.
