As this year draws to a close, we are on a quest to simplify our lives, specifically by narrowing what we're focusing on, rather than trying to multitask - which we always do and which pretty much NEVER works. What about you?

Question: Why do we always talk about the things we want to do with our lives, but we never do them?

Oh, that's not you? Ok, we'll that's what we do a lot of times, and we're tired of it! We decided to discuss in this podcast what we perceive is holding us back from doing the things we want to do with our lives.

We continue our conversation about meaningful living from last episode, but this time, we're talking more specifically about finding your purpose. We all ask ourselves "what is my purpose?" at some point; oftentimes we never stop asking ourselves this.

How DO we know our purpose? Should we look for a mountaintop experience to find it? How big is our purpose supposed to be? Should we even look for our purpose in life?

Is it the acquiring of multiple degrees and climbing the corporate ladder that makes life meaningful? Is it creating a successful business or having a platform that reaches millions? Or simply spending time with family and friends?

We all want to have lives that mean something, so it is worthwhile to discuss what actually constitutes making good use of the time that we have.

ALL of us have been "going through" during this season, dealing with extra stressors, setbacks and responsibilities. At some point, we must prioritize self-care - getting sleep/rest, eating well, destressing, etc. - so that we are able to survive and thrive right now. If we don't, what will we have left to pull from?

What do you know about self-sufficiency? How important do you think it is that humans are self-sufficient in today's world?

While we personally have been thinking about the importance of self-sufficiency for some years now, and have even taken certain steps towards it (such as increasing the size of our garden and getting a chicken coop), the pandemic - and the shakiness of our man-made systems - has further solidified our belief that some level of self-sufficiency is important for all people to have.

This age that we live in is rife with misinformation - conspiracy theories, half-truths, and flat out lies - on the various media platforms that we consume daily. While this has been true for a long time, it's become even more clear in the past few years, and especially during this election season.

One of the most unfortunate things that we have witnessed is what appears to be a widespread lack of critical thinking in our society about information we receive via social media, news, etc. Is it fair to accept what a person or organization says as truth simply because they have a platform, or is it worth it to subject everything we hear to a basic level of scrutiny before we accept it as truth?

Listen in on our discussion.

If there's one thing we've learned about social media during this time, it's that it can be really toxic and detrimental to community. Not only can it be addictive and extremely distracting, but it's also full of mudslinging, echo chambers, and it it seems pretty much impossible to have conversations between people who have different ideas. We have contemplated getting off of social media several times - and we did indeed get off of social media for several years, as a matter of fact.

In this podcast, we talk about how social media used to be, and we discuss our ideas for how (and whether or not)social media can benefit the community and conversation.

I had a thought recently that I believe that God deposited into my spirit, and that thought was this:

The reason that we see so much discord, division and conflict being sown in our society during this tumultuous time is because we're not deeply rooted. Therefore, instead of showing compassion, understanding and unity towards one other - which is really what most people want - we are encouraging even more negativity in a time where everyone has already had enough of that.

Listen on to hear more of what I mean, and check out the discussion.

You know, if we really look around, every last one of us humans need redemption. While our human tendency is to compare ourselves to ourselves and to point out the wrong-doing of others, ALL OF US have issues that we deal with. Check out our discussion.
