Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the right decision, but we forget that it's the journey and freedom of having options that makes life so meaningful. The heart is always open to new possibilities, the gut guides us, but the mind stops us. We think the mind is being rational, but that rationality is fear in disguise. It stops us from moving forward and creating the beautiful life that is meant for us. In this podcast, I share the 3 reasons we have a hard time making decisions, 3 ways to overcome them, how to make wise choices, and how to keep going and growing no matter what happens.

Why are we here? Seriously, what's the point? Why is there a universe where we lose everyone we love and everybody dies? Why is there war and famine and widespread poverty? Is there a purpose? What purpose could there be for all this suffering? Is life a cruel joke? These are the age-old questions that have puzzled humans for thousands of years. But perhaps we've been looking for answers in the wrong places.  In this podcast, I share why we're truly here, how to get through life's hardest times, and how to go from wondering why we're here to feeling blessed and grateful for this precious gift of human life.

What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for? I know that our world can sometimes feel dark, scary, lonely and meaningless. Every hundred years, nearly every single human will die. A slow moving apocalypse is coming for each of us. Our whole world will one day be shattered and destroyed. Everyone we know and love, gone. This is the nature of this physical universe — death and rebirth. So what can we do when we feel like we can barely breathe? Is there anything that can help us when we can't even get out of bed? What can possibly break us free from our endless cycle of negative thoughts and feelings? In this podcast episode, I share this one fundamental truth about our existence that can bring us peace no matter what we are going through. If we can remember this one simple fact when times get tough, we can make it through anything. It doesn't matter if we're in prison or a prison of our own mind, peace and inner freedom are possible.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people? And more importantly, why can we have everything in life and still feel empty inside? Is karma why some people seem to have all the luck? Is there cosmic justice in the afterlife? Some kind of Heaven or Hell? Is life totally random? Or is there some other explanation? In today's podcast, I explore these timeless topics. I talk about why life can seem unfair. And I share how we can all have the good life no matter who we are or what our circumstances are.

We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past. The fact is, notions of regret and mistake live only in the mind. We did not choose our circumstances or our brains. These self-imposed prisons are merely illusions we carry with us. So many of us spend so much of our lives feeling regret for mistakes we've made in the past. It's part of life, to live and to learn. But the greatest mistake we could ever make is the one I share in this podcast.
