In this episode, we try to make sense of it all by tethering to a beautiful quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr - "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

The greatest cause of unhappiness is wishing that life was different than it is. Think about how many times a day you want someone else to behave differently, for the weather to brighten, or for an event to change so it fits what you want. We all have this tendency. We want to shape and control the world around us so we never have to feel discomfort or disappointment. The problem is, we are living in a time when it's impossible to do that.

In this episode, we discuss how to identify what is in your control, and what is absolutely not within your control. And most importantly, how to let go of that which you cannot change. Letting go of the need to control is the foundation for a happy, grateful, peaceful life. Let's do it!

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved to remote Walden pond to live isolated in nature, free from the distraction of social responsibilities. The result, was his book, Walden, a treatise on living according to your own compass.
