Relationships are both the greatest sources of happiness we can find in our lives, and the greatest sources of pain and suffering. Not only can relationships cause us tremendous heartache, but the lack or loss of them can be even more heart-wrenching.

So what are we supposed to do? Live as hermits in solitude? Live as doormats to be taken advantage of? Live in constant conflict? Or is there a better way, a way we can enjoy the delights of companionship and skip the conflict and pain?

In this podcast, I talk about a very important 3-step process for improving all our relationships. We can't control others, but if we follow these simple steps we can make a powerful change for ourselves and how we relate to others.

We all want our life to be all peaks all the time. We want maximum enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement every moment of our waking lives. Even when we're asleep, we want the best dreams on the best mattress and sheets.

We want to always be at the peak of the rollercoaster of life. We want to reach the peak of the mountain without doing the hard, grudging work to get there. Not only do we want it, but we've come to expect it. And that is one of the major causes of suffering in our modern and comfortable lives.

In this podcast episode, I explore if living life a life of just peaks is possible, if it would actually be a good thing, and if it would truly make us happy. I talk about how we can shift our perspective so that we can appreciate those inevitable dips. I share the truth about the fleeting and unsatisfactory nature of peaks. And I discuss how we can learn to find the joy in every step we take on this beautiful journey of life.

Why do we give great advice to others and yet we have a hard time following it ourselves? What is the root cause of our own self-sabotage? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again? And what can we do to break the cycle?

In this podcast, I talk about why we keep failing to make positive changes and I share a simple 3-step process for breaking free from that inner voice that keeps giving us bad ideas.

If we want to stop making life hard for ourselves, we have to get to the source of the problem. Exerting immense effort and discipline is exhausting and unsustainable. Only by understanding the true nature of self-sabotage can we free ourselves from this habit once and for all. Here is how to do exactly that.
