In this episode Steve and Matthew discuss:

• Being there for people in their pain 
• Accepting hardship as part of the journey
• The importance of truth in our lives
• Saying the truth with love 

Key Takeaways: 

• Being there for people in their pain is one of the most meaningful things we can do. It allows us to validate people’s feelings, give them a new perspective on seeing their problems, and remind them that the pain doesn’t define them. 
• Hardship is a part of our journey; it’s a piece of the puzzle that builds up to our whole human experience. When we start to accept it as a part of our lives and dispose of reactionary judgments, we’ll start to see the beauty in those moments too. 
• You can’t have love, freedom, or joy without truth. You derail others’ journeys and also your own when you don’t embrace the truth. When we don’t tell the truth, we rob ourselves and others of the beauty of our journey. 
• Truth can be communicated with love, in fact, it must be done so every single time. Truth said without love is often too bitter. We need to say the truth from the perspective of wanting the person to flourish and grow and without any negative intention. 

“If we can learn to actually love all of the experiences, as hard as it is in the moment, we can gain just a little bit of perspective. We start to see the beauty in that too.” - Matthew Hudson
