The Drama Addiction: When Life Imitates Fiction

We've all felt the magnetic pull of a good story, the kind filled with conflict, mystery, and turmoil that keeps us glued to the screen. But what happens when our love for fictional chaos doesn't end when the credits roll? This talk explores our "drama addiction," the unsettling idea that we unconsciously sabotage our own peace in an effort to make our lives a more compelling, if not happier, story. We will delve into why we are so often the authors of our own unrest and ask the crucial question: is a peaceful life what we truly want?

The Ripple Effect: Understanding Why Hurt People Hurt People

Have you ever wondered why someone you know, who's clearly struggling, ends up hurting those around them? It's a painful paradox: the very people carrying deep wounds sometimes inflict them on others. Today, we're going to explore this complex dynamic, understanding that while understanding is never an excuse, it's the first step toward breaking cycles of harm.

Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness

"Have you ever had one of those days, or maybe even one of those weeks, where you feel like you're just... on autopilot? The alarm goes off, you grab your coffee, you go through the motions of work, you handle your responsibilities, and before you know it, the day is over. You're busy, you're productive, but are you... happy?

We tend to think of happiness as this magical thing that just happens to us. Like a lightning strike or winning the lottery. We think, 'I'll be happy when I get the promotion,' or 'when I go on vacation,' or 'when the kids are grown.' We treat it like a destination we hope to arrive at someday.

But what if that’s all wrong? What if a good, happy, peaceful life isn't something you find, but something you build?

I’m Dr. Robert Puff and welcome to “Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness”. This is the podcast for anyone who is ready to stop drifting and start steering. We’re founded on one simple, but life-changing idea: you have to actively work for a life of joy and peace.

In this episode, we're going to explore this idea by coming back to one central, powerful question. A question to ask yourself in the big moments and the small ones. That question is: 'Is what I am doing right now moving me in the direction of a happier life?'

It’s not about perfection; it’s about direction. So, let’s get into it. Let’s learn how to work at it, together."
