It's so important not to only look at all the bad things happening, or to be mostly focussed our own faults. Without denying negative events, we can discoved so much that's good, wholesome and admirable, both in ourselves and in others.

If we only pay attention to the bad things, we feel miserable.

If we notice and appreciate all that's good, we fill our lives with rejoicing, joy and muditā.

Ajahn Dhammasiha also addresses questions about:

23:27 Meaning of 'psasāda' (confidence/faith)?

25:10 Is the desire to realize Nibbāna a 'good' desire?

29:20 Why didn't the Bodhisatta's first teacher didn't attain nibbāna themselves, as they had already realized very deep samādhi?

33:55 Anāpāṇasati (mindfulness of the breath) or Mettā (loving kindness) as meditation object?

Related to the last question, Ajahn explains how to easily find any of our podcasts: Just enter any subject you're interested in, and all the relevant podcast will show up to listen to.
