This episode is about family relationships and the concept of living in the end. When you work on yourself first, you can change the way you respond to others who are close to you, evoking them to respond in a similar way.

This episode is full of statements and questions that you can ask yourself when you’re in the midst of a challenging situation or are experiencing some negative emotion.

The long term benefits of work that you enjoy doing are made out of short term benefits. Generally, the more often the better. That’s why it’s useful to think about your goals constantly, if you can’t act on them at the moment.

When you experiment with whatever decision you have made, you begin to reveal the mysteries of your life. The truths that would have happened anyway. Life is perfect in its freedom to have imperfect plans or to have no plans at all for the future, and it’s freedom to have new extracted insights about the past, or not a thought about the past. The acceptance of those imperfect concepts leads to a better ability to imagine something perfect.

It is possible to create more time for the things that give you zest for life. When you find a way to do the things that would feel the best or better to have done, than you’ll find that you have more energy to do other things in a more efficient and enjoyable way.

Often doing what you’re good at that you also like may bring many long term benefits that you don’t realize at first. Optimize your strengths and your weaknesses will become stronger.

When do you know to listen to your intuition rather than an outside source of information?

Sometimes we can get caught up in one of these, and become impatient, unhappy, worried about the past, or anxious of the future. But if we lean just a little bit towards the one side, and see that everything is ongoing (change is the only constant) we will eventually see that all our adversities are more short lived than we thought, especially if we decide to see them as opportunities we can use, and benefit from in the long term/journey/process of life.
