Ep #12 How To Accept The 5 Things We Cannot Change 6yo

Happiness = Events - Expectations What if we make ourselves miserable because of the unrealistic expectations we set in the world? We all know this world isn’t always fair, and people aren’t always loving. Yet we spend hours on negative self-talk: ‘he/she shouldn’t act like that,’ ‘why is this happening to me?’ ‘I worked so hard, I should have got it…’ What if we accept the world’s ‘imperfections’ upfront and detach from our expectations about loved ones, the economy, world leaders… Inspired by David Richo’s book, I explore my journey of accepting the 5 givens in life and the power it gave me in pursuing what I believe in without unnecessary looking back: - Everything changes and comes to an end - Things don’t always go according to plan - Life is not always fair - Pain is part of life - People are not always loving and loyal me on this journey of moving from ‘How things should be’ to ‘Who do I want to become and what do I want to create in this highly imperfect but beautiful world?’ Inspired by: The Five Things We Cannot Change: And the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them by David Richo. 🔗 Link to the Book on Goodreads 1s4u1k
