Life is a wild, unpredictable carnival, full of thrilling rides, tantalizing sideshows, and unexpected detours.

In a heartfelt conversation, friends Walt and Joel explore how embracing this carnival-like existence can lead to our greatest triumphs.

As Walt and Joel reminisce about their 12-year friendship, they marvel at the twists and turns their lives have taken. "Twelve years is a lifetime," Joel reflects. "It didn't always feel like it, but as I look back, it's just been one continuous upward swing."

This realization speaks to the power of perspective - what may feel like setbacks in the moment can, in hindsight, become part of an uplifting journey.

The two delve into the concept of homeostasis, our natural human tendency to seek stability and familiarity. "We seek that as beings," Walt explains. "We feel safest in the known, even if it's not true that that's the really kindest to us." But Joel counters that he's always thrived on the new and unknown, seeing each rejection or change of plans as an exciting opportunity.

"Life has a way of forcing the journey," Joel says, "and you don't want to go sometimes." He shares his own story of being unexpectedly uprooted, moving from Florida to South Carolina to Virginia. While initially daunting, these experiences ultimately led him to discover his passion for private practice, a path he never would have found had he stayed in his comfort zone.

The conversation explores the power of perspective when facing rejection. "Rejection is just simply redirection," Joel asserts."If you allow it to be rejection, you know, especially like in relationships, you there is that emotional component. You feel abandoned, you feel hurt, you feel, you know, all the betrayed, all the emotions that go along with rejection. But usually on the other side of rejection is opportunity."

Walt's guest, Chloe, provides a poignant example of this. After being left by her partner with three young children, Chloe could have easily fallen into a cycle of despair. Instead, she seized the opportunity to transform her life, discovering a passion for transformational healing that ultimately empowered her.

As the discussion concludes, Walt shares his own journey of embracing the unknown, using his financial stability as a springboard to explore new creative pursuits. "I have no idea how this turns into any kind of career," he admits. "I can't I have no conception of how this turns into money or anything like that. I'm just doing it for the fun of it."

In the end, Walt and Joel's conversation underscores the importance of cultivating a mindset that celebrates the unpredictable carnival of life. By embracing change, finding joy in the journey, and recognizing rejection as redirection, we open ourselves up to the possibility of our greatest triumphs.
