The meanest people are often the weakest. Meanness is a mask for insecurity, not a sign of strength. Today we explore why people act this way, give real examples of strength through goodness, and practical tools so you can stay above the fray.

[00:45] Meanness comes from fear, envy, and insecurity. It's a way to avoid facing your own shortcomings. Tearing others down doesn't build you up.

[2:30] Nelson Mandela chose forgiveness over revenge. Mahatma Gandhi led with nonviolence and respect. Martin Luther King Jr. preached love in the face of hate. They showed moral strength can topple physical might.

[5:00] Steve Hansen didn't tolerate ego on the All Blacks. Michael Jordan lifted teammates up; he didn't tear them down. Your success isn't limited by others' wins. Celebrate them instead of comparing.

[7:15] Check your reactions when someone shares big goals. Surround yourself with believers, not doubters. Celebrate others' wins out loud. Stay focused on your own path. Practice daily gratitude. It's hard to be mean when you're thankful.

Don't let weakness or meanness define you. Have the strength to believe in goodness. Listen now to learn how.

Snakes, Snakes Everywhere - But They Don't Have to Bite You

Ever feel betrayed or hurt by someone close to you? In this episode, we explore how to stop chasing the "why" and start chasing your own healing.

We've all been bitten emotionally before. But while our first instinct is to chase down the snake and demand an explanation, the truth is, closure comes from within. As the monk said, "Imagine being bitten by a snake and rather than go to the hospital, you chase the snake to find out why it bit you." Don't chase the snake - chase your own healing.

[1:23] The human ego hates injustice, but you can't demand peace from chaos.
[3:45] Surround yourself with people who lift you up, not bring you down.
[5:10] Sometimes closure is a decision, not a conversation.
[7:30] The jungle will reveal who you are - don't let your wounds become your identity.
[9:15] You can't chase healing and vengeance at the same time.

Key Takeaways:
- Stop chasing the "why" and start chasing your own healing.
- Closure comes from within, not from others.
- Don't let your wounds become your identity - reclaim your self-worth.

If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs to stop chasing their snake. And keep building yourself up - you've got this!
