    In the last episode, we spoke about close relationships and what they mean in terms of our Evolutionary Path. We need to cease imposing our values or expectations on others. Instead, concentrate on altering who we are and how we react to situations. It is said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi Without force, and only without force, can you be seen as you truly are. If something is not really given, you can never really have it, can you? You do not really have love, when you force it. You really just have disappointment. You do not really have success, when you force it. You really just have anxiety. You do not really have respect, when you force it. You really just have anger.Join Rachel and her guests Angela and Jessica as they continue their discussion.Support the show
