Pink: Scattered Creative Stories episodes

  • A Strange Way to Appreciate Your Life
    In this episode, I talk about gaining appreciation for your life by thinking about all the valuable things you gave up to have it. All our privileges cost something, and we should honor them. It doesn't make them any less valuable that we gave them up, but that's reality.

  • The Influence of Fear on Our Lives
    We're constantly afraid of something, and it affects us in ways we don't notice. In this episode, I talk about the opposite side of the equation. Most people are prey animals, cautiously wandering through life always ready to run at the sight of trouble. But some are predators, always looking for opportunities.

  • Casual Chat about Love
    In this rare off-topic episode, we talk about love. It's a very personal preference, but hearing of the sanctuaries people carve out for themselves in this realm is always interesting. Highlight: The TWO things that keep relationships intact.

  • Some Things You Can Only Do When You're Missing Something
    People preach being whole and healthy as a way to reach your goals. But this episode is about the things you can only chase if you're missing something, if something is wrong with you. In my opinion, this is much more applicable to younger people like us who won't have things figured out for a long time.

  • Faith Is Cool
    A somewhat unpopular message especially for the younger generation. In this episode, I talk about my personal discovery of the value of faith, and the ramifications of our collective transition away from faith as a modern society.

  • The Dark Side of Focus
    Being laser focused on a target isn't always a good thing. Many of us struggle with focus, and we automatically judge ourselves for it. But in this episode, I explore both sides of this tool, focus, which is so commonly misused.

  • You Don't Need to Be Happy
    In this episode, I talk about my unorthodox lack of emphasis on chasing joy. I haven't regarded happiness as important for a long time, and that makes things a lot simpler than what I'm hearing from most people. Maybe this would shed light on the opposite perspective if you're concerned about being unhappy in your own life.
