This Is Heartbeat

It’s amazing how many of life’s most important questions never get asked! In this episode of This Is Heartbeat, Landon tackles one of the biggest: our relationships. This episode was recorded life at the Feeling Good About Yourself Workshop in the mid-eighties; but we think you’ll find this, like almost all of Landon’s community conversations, is evergreen.

This is another encore presentation from one of our most listened to episodes in 2024, and Landon is speaking to the most important question a human being will face: Who will be my teacher. Landon explores the need for guidance in our lives. With a nod to the complexity and challenges that are a part of each day,Landon discusses the value of laughter and joyfulness, and the role we will play in our well-being. The episode concludes with a reminder to focus on what brings us joy.

In this episode of Heartbeat, Landon Saunders discusses how to live and keep from missing out on the experiences that truly matter. He shares what he refers to as a teaching story about a young man who despises the world and seeks guidance on how to live in it. A wise teacher instructs the young man to only do things that bring him joy. Joy is what enables us to respond to the wilderness moments of life. And you’ll want to stick around for the end of the episode when Landon discusses the significance of finding joy in life and not losing it.

Episode 61 finds Landon visiting with a group of professionals, and they are exploring this question: is Joy dependent on circumstance? Or, is it possible for a person to live in joy even in the midst of everything that life throws our way.

Episode 60 asks a big question: What is the universe for? And Landon Saunders suggests a hopeful answer. It’s an answer that might surprise some. But by the end of this podcast you might just have a perspective that changes everything.

Conventional thinking says "you must really work at relationships...they are tough." But what if we have that wrong? What if the answer is to introduce more "play" into our relationships? In Episode 59 Landon Saunders explores the big question -- What Are Relationships For. And his suggestion is that relationships are for pure, unmitigated joy.

Relationships can be better. We can learn to get along with each other better. Human beings have a capacity for wisdom, beauty, delight, humor, and forgiveness. Yes, there is pain and brokenness in relationships, but people are worth the kindness and forgiveness—and we’ll grow strong in the process. As Hemingway said: “Life breaks everyone and afterwards some are strong in the broken places.” In Episode 58, Landon picks up with the sixth of the significant seven keys to fully living. It's excerpted from the course of the same name, available on the Heartbeat App -- available in the Apple App Store or the Googe Play Store.
