I am fascinated by those timeless thoughts that every generations ponders: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life?

For tens of thousands of years, humans have looked to the skies and wondered about these questions. And yet, after all that time, we're no closer to an answer. However, one key phrase keeps getting passed down: Know thyself.

But what does it mean to know ourselves? Isn't who we are obvious? And how can we get to know ourselves?

In this podcast, available as a video on YouTube, I share what it means to be human, why we got disconnected from our true selves, how to find our way back, and how to tap into the answers and powers within ourselves so we can stop wondering and start knowing.

We know that people will lie. We know that people will say hurtful things because they've been hurt. We know that what people say about us can have absolutely nothing to do with us. And we know that people judge, blame, and criticize in ways that have no relationship to the truth.

So why then do their words hurt so much? Why do we suffer so deeply when people slander us? And why do we take things so personally that are in no way personal?

It's because our mind can know something, but unless our subconscious mind and body know it too, we don't really know it. We only know it intellectually, but deep down in our gut we are clueless.

In this podcast, I share my own struggles with being misunderstood. I talk about how I overcame people's lies, judgments, and cruelties. And I share the simple, profound, and easy ways we can all understand at the deepest level that other people's thoughts and words are none of our concern.

How is it that so many kind, loving people can turn into rage monsters on the road? How can people who would never be unkind suddenly start screaming expletives at sweet old ladies?

Road rage is no laughing matter. Kids and family members are affected by the rage. It spikes our blood pressure. And people die all the time in road related fights.

To quit road rage, we have to first understand it. In today's podcast, I share the 3 root causes for road rage, my own personal struggles with it, and the 3 steps for overcoming it once and for all.

How we drive is a reflection of how we go through life. This is how we can all be road warriors of peace.

We all know that expression, "One day I'll look back on this and laugh." Usually, it takes a few years. But is there a way to speed up that process? Is there a way to laugh and enjoy each moment as if we were looking back on it years from now?

The key to why we can look back and laugh as something difficult is distance. Emotional, physical, and chronological distance. Distance gives us a feeling of safety, clarity, perspective. 

In this podcast, I share how we can all create instant distance so that life's unwanted surprises don't seem so significant. With distance, big events become small and manageable. Here is how to develop the most important skill for a peaceful life.

There is a stage of adulthood that no one talks about and no one prepares us for. It is the hardest stage to grow into. It is the stage we fear and try to avoid our whole life. But it's coming for all of us.

No, it's not the mid-life crisis. It's the stage of becoming an elder. It doesn't mean we've turned 80. It means we no longer have an elder we can turn to for sage advice, and we have to step into that role ourself. It can happen when we're very young or very old, but there eventually comes a time, if we live long enough, when we become the one everyone leans on for support.

In this podcast, I share 3 simple steps for how to step into this hard new role. I talk about how to face loneliness and being alone, old age and aging, and tapping into our inner strength and power. I discuss why it's painful, how to overcome it, and how to become the shining light of wisdom for ourself and others that we're all destined to be.

Our bodies respond to the thoughts in our head. We make choices because of our thoughts. And if we have a scary thought, we feel fear. If our thoughts are angry in nature, we feel anger. If we have worrying thoughts, we feel stressed and anxious. If they are positive, we feel good and happy.

We think reality effects our thoughts, but it is our thoughts that create our reality. Most of us simply have an untrained mind. Our mind is our master. The ego runs the show.

In this podcast, I talk about how our higher self can take back the reins of our mind. I discuss how our egos took control in the first place and the sneaky tricks it uses to hold on to power. And I share some simple solutions for taming the mind so that it becomes our loyal, helpful companion instead of our moody, needy, and impulsive boss.
