The key to long-lasting happiness and fulfillment is about ten percent luck and ninety percent of what I talk about in today’s episode.

If you struggle in your relationships, your job, or life in general, you may be sabotaging your own path to success. Start making decisions based on what’s most important to you instead of from a fear of the consequences and you’ll end up with a vastly different reality.

What do you do when you’re partner does something you don’t like? Do you stay focused on their behavior and try to make them change it? Or do you shift your focus on what you can control and do what you can for yourself so that your partner can no longer use the excuse that you’re giving them a hard time?

Jealousy, self-worth, and self-esteem make an appearance in this episode. Sometimes the people we love do things we hate.
