When Life Seems to Be Going in the Wrong Direction
Episode description
We all want our life to be all peaks all the time. We want maximum enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement every moment of our waking lives. Even when we're asleep, we want the best dreams on the best mattress and sheets.
We want to always be at the peak of the rollercoaster of life. We want to reach the peak of the mountain without doing the hard, grudging work to get there. Not only do we want it, but we've come to expect it. And that is one of the major causes of suffering in our modern and comfortable lives.
In this podcast episode, I explore if living life a life of just peaks is possible, if it would actually be a good thing, and if it would truly make us happy. I talk about how we can shift our perspective so that we can appreciate those inevitable dips. I share the truth about the fleeting and unsatisfactory nature of peaks. And I discuss how we can learn to find the joy in every step we take on this beautiful journey of life.
