What Kind of Life Are You Cultivating Today?
You're in for a good one today, folks! Though it might sound like an oxymoron, this episode is a fun look at misery! Over the course of this episode we introduce two concepts related to misery: 1) habits of misery, and 2) sympathetic misery. Do you see folks engaged in habits of misery in your everyday life? Have you noticed how easily collaborative complaining fosters a sense of sympathetic misery? Here we look at these concepts and their relationship to the lives we lead vs. the lives we hope to have.
So what kind of life do you want for yourself? Is it one full of gratitude and kindness? Or have you resigned yourself to a habit of misery? Paul suggests that whatever we cultivate requires “work, patience, and faith.” Join us as we take a look at the work, patience and faith we, and our larger culture, often invest in what we're calling “habits of misery.” We ask: why are we so comfortable with self-deprecating humor? Why is there comfort in sympathetic misery? Why are we so suspicious of happy people? And what causes us to struggle with sympathetic joy?
We gotta say, recording this one was a blast and we really hope you’ll enjoying listening to it as much as we loved recording it! So, listeners, share in our joy: check this one out and then get in touch. Tell us: what are you cultivating in your life right now? And what would change in your life you asked: “what if I deserve kindness?”
