This episode dives into how facing challenges — whether it’s the blazing sun, long climbs, or life’s everyday struggles — can actually bring us closer to inner peace. Eric shares reflections on how embracing discomfort isn’t about suffering for its own sake, but about building the kind of strength and perspective that makes real freedom possible. It’s a look at how nature, effort, and simple routines work together to create a deeper sense of harmony.
