The key is being truthful and honest about oneself.
@robertgower2636
The process of life is dynamic and circumstantial. As social beings, in my opinion, our state of mind is directly linked to how others view us, treat us, accept, or reject us. You hear people say they don't care what other people think about them, but then what is the point of saying such a thing if they truly did not care what other people think? Let us be honest, because we care so much about what other people think, we often end up isolating ourselves or allowing only a select one or two other people into our lives in order to minimize conflict or pain. I sometimes like to ask people how they would feel if they were the only person on earth. The common answer is that they would feel lonely, lost, and afraid. But in reality, isn't that the way many people feel now even though they live in a world of billions. What does that say about ourselves as a species? Every creature we know of will die at some point and because of this, I would make the case that life is the most precious thing we will ever know. For me, this means we should cherish and honor it for the finite resource it is. Imagine how life would be on this planet if this was our mindset. The stories we adhere to directly govern the state of our world. Sadly, from everything I have experienced, a vast number of humans end up living their lives not knowing and appreciating the pure wonder for the process of life itself. I am a firm believer that life is what we make it, which in some sense, I feel is what this video is saying too. I believe that the world could be a much more peaceful and enjoyable place uniformly if this was a major factor in our species world view. The universe is indifferent to what any of us do or don't do, but for each us, the consequences are monumental. Adjusting the course of a mega vessel is no small task, but with sustained effort, a new course can be set over time. We just need to agree on what course we want to take. Lost time can never be redeemed...

Change the story you tell yourself, you will change your life.
@ernestweber5207
Ms. Gottlieb has a good insight into the "life as a story" perspective. I think it is a very useful tool, especially if you can really see the context of how our lives are more like a story we write as we go on, (our biases) with all the factors that make it seem very interesting and real to us in the present, regardless of the content. When one is first honest about the particular story one carries, the it is possible to be more creative as the story progresses. That also can be a bridge to a form of transcendence because it is only a matter of realizing and admitting that the story may be about your experiences in the past, but you are the knower of it and it is not ultimately what you are because of that.

Incredibly profound! Thank you tons Lori for such an impactful therapy session. I believe if only one truly internalizes your talk and lives it fully, most therapists will go out of business! Fascinating! My take-aways after my first watch - 1) stay away, at least mentally, from idiot compassion, 2) freedom is what you want and change is what you run away from, 3) more coming as I watch again and yet again!

I used to give advice to people but it always backfired if it didn't work out and besides I decided years ago because I didn't know the full story and I really like to help people and I decided that we are not responsible for somebody else's happiness. Sometimes when we have lost somebody in our life we tend to gravitate to people that need help thinking that we can subconsciously game back the person we lost or help the person that we couldn't help as a young child. As regards the woman who sinks the children will suffer she's only imagining it because I've seen it where a lot of women or men who become single parents are actually a lot more responsible and don't rely on anybody else to become a good parent once you stepped into the water you learn how to swim once you become a single parent it's only natural 2 take hold of being responsible. It's not a good thing to have only one parent but sometimes in the end the children will respect the parent who decided to lose the abusive mate. I know of people who have stayed in the bad relationship in the children when they grow up they are resentful because they felt that the parent should have been smart enough just to get out of a bad situation and so the parent suffers Through The Years just for the sake of a child.

The Earth needs you! I NEEDED YOU! Thank you!
@amalmohamednoor7261
That was really good. Islam taught me the same thing, focus on your own personal development and be so fair even if its against your own interest because eventually you will die and stand before your creator and have to answer why you acted the way you did in this life. God bless

@betty1hope
To know yourself is to unknow yourself. To let go of the one version of the story you've been telling yourself so that you can live your life and not the story you've been telling yourself about your life.
@SociallyAwkwardGirl_OG
Loss... has helped me to learn, so I use what I learned to help those through loss. probably a trope
