What is the American dream? A lot of people say it's about working until you don't have to. It's about reaching a point where you no longer have to work, don't have to push yourself, and live a life of relaxation. But is that really what life's about?

There's nothing wrong with being comfortable, relaxing, or enjoying some time off of work. However, when we make our life's mission about these things we lose sight of the joy and fulfillment that come from pushing ourselves. From doing hard things, learning new things, and feeling a sense of accomplishment.

This episode is about embracing the challenges and how we can reach joy through those difficulties.
