In Finland, where winters can be brutally cold, there’s a popular saying: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores how this simple truth holds the key to navigating life’s toughest circumstances. Drawing on the Positivity Model and a powerful insight from a past guest—“Extreme does not equal extraordinary”—you’ll learn how to shift from feeling like a victim of your circumstances to becoming the agent of your experience. The weather is what it is. How you show up is a choice. That changes everything. Grab your copy of The Positivity Model at https://LiveOnPurposeRadio.com/TheModel

Have you ever felt stuck trying to figure out the best option, the perfect plan, or the right decision—only to end up doing nothing at all? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the surprising trap of chasing superlatives like best or worst. According to the Positivity Model, things can always be better—or worse—depending on how we evaluate them. That means “best” and “worst” are illusions, not destinations. By letting go of perfectionism and simply aiming for better, we get out of our own way and start making real, purposeful progress. This mindset shift could be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
