Welcome to the self-helpful podcast. I'm Kevin Miller and this is the podcast people tune into

for in-depth discussions on the latest research from our foremost leaders in self-improvement.

So you can be growing and more equipped to live at your fullest capacity in body, mind and soul.

In this episode I continue the discussion brought forth by Wendy Smith and the message

in her book with Mary Ann Lewis both and thinking, embracing creative tensions to solve your toughest problems.

Well here I bring in my frequent co-host, Randy James, medical doctor and functional medicine expert

to further unwrap this concept. So Randy and I, we've been best friends for over a decade and as we grapple

and ponder and consider life as business owners, spouses, parents, friends and followers of God,

we so often come to as Randy's so often said the both are.

I mean the issues that we deal with on a day-to-day basis are so seldom black and white or right or wrong.

So here we again take the concept head on and talk about how it plays out, has played out and is playing out in our lives in all these roles.

So here's talk about how being flexible and considerate of seemingly opposing sides.

It often runs a risk of setting double standards, if not coming off looking out right, hypocritical.

And it often leads us with just what Wendy and Mary Ann uncovered a true dilemma instead of an easy answer.

And instead of conclusive beliefs to just paint over our lives, we have to be present in the moment and what is at stake in any particular circumstance.

It's not efficient. Ultimately the issue calls us to get very clear on our overall values while being again flexible in how we may achieve them.
