Episode 3513:

Leo Babauta explores the ways we create our own misery and how we can break free from it. By clinging to expectations, resisting discomfort, and dwelling on negative narratives, we amplify our suffering. Shifting our mindset, accepting reality, embracing uncertainty, and practicing gratitude can help us cultivate peace and joy instead.

Quotes to ponder:

"We create our own misery by wishing things were different, by fearing what might come, by clinging to expectations."

"The truth is, reality is just as it is. Wishing it were different doesn’t help us, it only makes us unhappy."

"Gratitude changes everything when we appreciate what’s in front of us, we no longer need things to be different."
