How content are you? A little? A lot? Sometimes you are and sometimes you aren’t?  The fact that we all have different answers to that question just shows how elusive the answer to the Contentment Conundrum remains for we humans. I’ve never met someone who said that being more Content didn’t appeal to them at all. And if Contentment was easy, we would have nailed it by now.  In this episode, we uncover some of the key reasons that Contentment eludes us and what to do about them--and get a lot closer to cracking the code on the Contentment Conundrum.    This Episode Goes Out to… The Contentment Conundrum comes up a lot in my line of work--whether in 1-1 coaching settings or in group settings like Graveyard Group masterminds. In fact, I dedicated this episode to the OG TGG, as we call it--the group of guys who came together for the first-ever Graveyard Group mastermind two years ago. I’m a player-coach in that group--it’s where I do my own Mortality-minded work to become the man I’m made to be and live the life I’m made to live. We’re still going strong, and another discussion around Contentment gave me the inspiration for this episode.    What is Contentment, Anyway? Before we dive in, let’s define what we mean by “Contentment.” For our purposes, we’ll call Contentment “an overall sense of satisfaction and wellbeing that’s based in reality and not dependent upon circumstances.” There may be other ways to describe or define it, but it’s this kind of Contentment that we’re chewing on. Let’s also touch on what we DON’T mean by “Contentment.” We don’t mean brainless bovine contentment--out of touch with and unaffected by real life in the real world, like a cow grazing in a field as the world swirls around them. There are at least a couple of ways to achieve this kind of contentment--this counterfeit of the real thing. One of them involves self-destructive use of substances or other reality-escaping practices. Another involves simply living in a chronic state of denial. In my opinion, neither of those end well or bring our best into the world. And if you’ve tuned into even just a few episodes already, then you know that in my book, that’s a terrible tragedy. Both for the liver of the life and the world they inhabit.  Paradoxically, although the first definition of Contentment requires more commitment and courage, it yields a bumper crop over time--while the second ultimately requires more desperate measures to maintain against the constant encroachments of reality upon its borders and, in the end, yields a harvest of mediocrity at best and ruin at worst.    My strong hunch, though, is that if you listen to this podcast, you’re much more interested in the first definition of Contentment.    Guest Co-host As I was chewing on how to approach this topic, I realized that I wanted to have a conversation about it rather than just share some thoughts in the usual solo episode way. So I invited my wife, Charis, to join me. She first appeared on Andrew Petty is Dying in ep. 021, Sometimes, the Grass IS Greener: How a Familiar Bit of Conventional Wisdom Could be Holding You Back from the Life You Were Made to Live. That episode wasn’t an audition, but if it had been, she would have “gotten the part.” And since evidently her first experience wasn’t overly traumatic (rumor has it, she actually enjoyed it!), she agreed to help me crack the code on the Contentment Conundrum with me, for you. Tune into the full episode to hear the many pearls of wisdom she adds to the conversation.   The Contentment Conundrum: Cracking the Code Our conversation was organized around two major headings: Contentment can’t be found by looking for it.  We experience Contentment as we persevere in becoming the person we were made to be and living the life we were made to live.    Contentment can’t be found by looking for it. Before we discussed how we obtain contentment, it was first important to dispel this underlying misconception. In my opinion, not only is it true that contentment can’t be found by looking for it, but the more intent we become on finding it, the more elusive it becomes. It’s like trying to hold on to an eel. Or chasing a mirage. Or mistaking the good times had in the car on a road trip for the purpose of the trip. Good times in the car on a road trip are a by-product of traveling to a destination--not the sole purpose of the trip.  In the rest of this part of the conversation, we discuss how time-honored self-care practices can actually feed into this misconception and create quite the opposite of contentment as a result.  And Charis shares what kind of shape I was in just 3 days after returning from my first-ever personal retreat. With this critical misconception addressed, we next unpaced what actually does produce contentment in our lives.    The Recipe for Contentment I think we experience contentment as we persevere in becoming the person we were made to be and living the life we were made to live. There are at least 5 key ingredients in the recipe for becoming the person we were made to be and living the lives we were made to live, including: Connection with a Higher Power  Finding and Traveling our Unique Path in Life with Guts, Gusto, Abandon, and Purpose Cultivating Positivity Practicing Presence and Possession Making People Our Priority We walk through this recipe step-by-step in the rest of the conversation, and Charis adds examples from her own life to help you “see” what we’re talking about--including a professional evolution that required a lot of guts and deeper self-knowledge from her and in the end produced a harvest of increased self-confidence and yep--contentment.  I think this recipe yields genuine contentment much like an exquisite meal yields amazing flavor and warmth in our belly. It’s not the meal itself, but it’s an awesome and welcome byproduct of it. This kind of contentment--genuine, deep, abiding contentment--comes with scars and wounds picked up in the battle of life. In fact, this kind of contentment is possible at least in part because of the scars and wounds acquired in the battle of life. We mistake freedom from suffering, stress, and hardship as a source of contentment. When in fact those are some of the most important ingredients in the recipe for living a life that produces Contentment along the way. Landing the Plane Our conversation concluded with two final points. First, we discussed the surprising value of discontentment. And secondly, we discussed how Mortality plays into all of this. Tune into the full episode    So What’s the “So What?” If you’re seeking more Contentment, first, stop looking for it. Then, commit instead to living the life you were made to live and becoming the person you were made to be. Pay attention to the discontentment indicators on the dashboard of your life. What system malfunction is it alerting you to? Check the recipe of your life. Which ingredient in the recipe for becoming the person you were made to be and living the life you were made to live isn’t there in sufficient measure or is absent altogether? And as you discover and travel your unique Path in life with greater guts, gusto, abandon, and Purpose, you’ll start to notice the presence of a very welcome and pleasant companion:  Contentment.  Contentment that’s not dependent on fickle circumstances. Contentment that’s rugged and durable and UP TO YOU!  Remember, you ARE going to die. But you’re not dead yet. So get after it!   I Can Help You With Mortality as our motivator, this podcast exists to help you cultivate the Mindset and the Means to live the life you were made to live with guts, gusto, and abandon.

This episode was Inspired by a Gal Pal listener, who suggested we unpack resentment. In this episode the gals hope to shed light and reduce the shame around this complicated emotion that everyone experiences.   IN THIS EPISODE: Definition of resentment -  a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury The light and shadow sides of resentment It can be an indicator light that we might need to speak up for what we need and expect or confront a situation where we feel like we need an apology or resolution How do we move through it? Are we allowed to have expectations? How do we communicate our needs/expectations On forgiveness: “resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to get sick”  Expectations are future resentments Is it reasonable to try to not have ANY expectations?  Being okay with feeling uncomfortable/ disappointed when your expectations aren’t met   Examples: Keeping score in a relationship Feeling bitter about a sacrifice you had to make for someone and continuing to bring it up Feeling resentful that you have to be a caregiver for extended periods of time Resentment for parents who weren’t able to care for you in the way you wanted/needed as a child Feeling taken advantage of in a work environment ____   EPISODES MENTIONED:   Surrender   Letting Go   Friendship    Hard Conversations  ____   Don't forget to leave a review for us over on iTunes _____   CONNECT WITH US Instagram Join: Gal Pal Corral   ENGRID Instagram: @livengproof Liveng Proof Podcast  Website   GEORGIE Instagram: @georgiemorley The Chasing Joy Podcast Website

I got really serious about podcasting in 2020 142 episodes after I began this podcast. I got even more serious with the publication of The Age of Influence, utilizing this podcast to build a community that listens to podcasts. Utilizing podcasting as a form of influencer marketing to help incite word-of-mouth marketing about my book has taken my understanding of the significance that podcasting can have for any business or entrepreneur to a completely different level.By teaching you what I have experienced and learned, I believe you will not look at podcasting the same just as The Age of Influence and this podcast have hopefully helped you look at influencers and influencer marketing in a completely different way.Episodes Mentioned in the Show:166: The Many Ways to Become an Influencer Today [John Lee Dumas Interview]13: Got Good Social Media Marketing Apps?

What is an invitation as it relates to us and our dogs? What defines an invite? How does inviting your dog to engage with you differ from giving a trained cue, and why does it matter so much? These are just some of the questions that surface during Kathy’s weekend long Brilliant Partners Live Workshop. Since they were such good questions, and inspire deep thought, Kathy decided to share her thoughts and responses with you on this episode of Enlightened By Dogs! A Brilliant Partner’s goal is to live a lifestyle dripping with fun, respect, connection and love, so find out how to get the love lava flowing, and create true connectivity with your furry friend! Click play and learn all about the differences between a loving invitation, and a trained cue, and why one is definitely more effective than the other!   How does an invitation open the pathway to connection? What does a cue sound like? Why are we extending an invitation in the first place? What is love lava, and how do we get it flowing? What does an invitation look like, and how do we extend one?   “By itself, the very act of inviting opens the pathway to connection” “As social animals, we have a very strong and hard wired need to feel like we belong” “Extending an invitation to our dog fulfills that deep social need” “Our personal space certainly extends way beyond our physical body and so does our dogs” “Intention is a big part of what we do and how we live”   Episodes Mentioned in the show!
