In this episode, you'll learn why all decisions are equally important, how to recontextualize every decision you make, and how to live a more unshackled life.

Relapsing is usually considered a bad thing. But is it really that bad?

The problem is when you say "relapse," you've already placed a negative label on it.

What if instead of labeling it as a negative event, you stepped back and saw it for what it truly was: Your brain signaling to you that your life could be improved.

There are two main philosophies guiding all of our lives. You either try to take control of every aspect of your life. Or you trust in the cosmos that everything will work out.

And both seem pretty silly on the surface. Trying to control everything never works and ends in anxiety, depression, and worry. But passively hoping that everything will work out is equally as dangerous to your success.

However, trying to control everything is more dangerous than the other philosophy.

Why?

Because control is rooted in fear. It's true that you can't passively sit back and let life happen to you, but trying to control everything creates far more misery and destruction.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you how to apply both of these philosophies in your own life so you can create a better, happier life instead of creating more agony and despair.

Life throws all sorts of attacks at you. Whether they come from life's circumstances, outside forces, or perhaps the most dangerous — internal thoughts that riddle your brain with doubt, insecurity, and fear.

Imagine how much easier your life would be if you felt calm and at peace regardless of what life throws at you. Most of your internal battles with yourself would instantly vanish.

Not only would this help you embody happiness, but it would make you more successful at any task you set out to achieve. Instead of having a vicious cycle of anger, anxiety, and worry you would create a cycle of peace, happiness, and prosperity.
