Today, we're going to be talking about the reason why you suffer.

The reason why we all suffer.

I am not immune to this in any sort of way.

Today we're going to talk about where most human suffering comes from.

Before I do that, I want to talk to you about the difference really quickly between pain and suffering because we kind of put the two things together, but they're two completely different things. So pain is basically life. There is pain. Pain is inevitable. And pain is not always in your control. So things happen in life. You will, you know, people will get in car accidents, people you love will die, people will get

sick. There's many different things that will happen throughout your life that are painful. And pain

is inevitable. And it's not always in control. But suffering is in our control.

Suffering is our decision. It's usually an unconscious decision, but it's actually our

decision where we continue to suffer. 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. 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 of I'm not enough.

I'm not good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or I'll never be successful,

never make enough money. I might not be able to support my children. What if this happens?
