This Human Life – Nothing Was Wasted


Listen Later

On this inaugural episode of the This Human Life podcast, your host, Paul D. Lowe, talks to Kristen Johnson and Aimee Mosco about the concept of nothing being wasted in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • I can’t tell you how long I’ve spent on a labour-of-love project and expecting a big return – if not financially, then metaphorically or physically – and it didn’t pan out. But it taught me a lot, and I learned something from it.

  • Sometimes when we have expectations, they are potentially not realistic, so we set the stage for failure – for lack of a better word – for not meeting those expectations because they’re not reasonable. We don’t necessarily know that before we take the journey, but that’s how we learn.

  • Awareness plays a huge role in how you frame things. When you take the perspective that nothing is wasted and you look at things from that higher level you may see that your soul/higher wisdom/inner spirit has laid out a path for you. When you’re taking that path, you may not see where it’s leading but it will be productive.

  • It’s easy to say you would have done things differently in hindsight because your perspective is growing in each moment and you’re growing in each moment. If I was faced with the same choices at this point in my life as I was 20 years ago I would probably make a different choice, but I feel like it wouldn’t serve me if I had made a different choice or taken a different path.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘You cannot be the person you are today if you didn’t have previous experiences – you wouldn’t be in this moment without the previous moments.’‘So many people want a shortcut, especially these days when we’re surrounded by technology. Wanting things now and impatience have always been human tendencies.’‘I don’t think thoughts can be wasted.’‘Perfection is impossible to achieve.’

      THIS HUMAN LIFE 

      Inspiring Stories | Elevating Lives | Leaving Legacies 

      This Human Life is a reflective podcast exploring what it means to live, change, and make sense of experience over time. 

      Hosted by Paul D. Lowe, Life Architect & Storyteller, the podcast offers a calm, thoughtful space where people share insight after life has been lived — not while it is being performed. 

      Through unhurried conversations shaped by love and loss, courage and consequence, reinvention and meaning, guests reflect on the moments that have quietly shaped who they have become. 

      There is no teaching, no persuading, and no expectation placed on the listener. Just lived experience, shared with honesty, humility, and care. 

      More than a podcast, This Human Life is an invitation to pause, to listen more deeply, and to reflect on the lives we are shaping simply by living them.
