As it is within, so it is without - when we take charge of our inner world, we change our outer world, we transform our experience of everyday life.

And that is what this episode is all about - the undoubted and very real challenges that we all encounter every day.

What good is my saying that all good things fall into your lap when we let go of the want and trying that accompanies normal people’s efforts to change their life? What good is my talking about effortlessness if what you’re experiencing or feeling today is less than you would expect of life?

Well, when I talk about effortlessness, when I talk about transformation, I talk about the reality of what is not just possible but inevitable when we restructure our brains and enable our minds act in a new way.

But, even at that, we still have to deal with the behaviour or should I say the misbehaviour of normal crazy people.

That’s why we’re exploring health and fitness - an everyday challenge for all too many - and the misery that is all too often caused by the misbehaviour of those we encounter in our everyday life, particularly those often closest to us.

I hope this episode will help you get your head around the inevitability of everyday challenges but, more to the point, the fact that labouring under the weight of those everyday challenges is most definitely not inevitable.

We can rise above the so-called slings and arrows and, in doing so, enable those around us, perhaps, raise their game too.

But the key to all of this is, as always, your taking charge of your own state of mind.
