What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for?
I know that our world can sometimes feel dark, scary, lonely and meaningless. Every hundred years, nearly every single human will die. A slow moving apocalypse is coming for each of us. Our whole world will one day be shattered and destroyed. Everyone we know and love, gone. This is the nature of this physical universe — death and rebirth.
So what can we do when we feel like we can barely breathe? Is there anything that can help us when we can't even get out of bed? What can possibly break us free from our endless cycle of negative thoughts and feelings?
In this podcast episode, I share this one fundamental truth about our existence that can bring us peace no matter what we are going through. If we can remember this one simple fact when times get tough, we can make it through anything. It doesn't matter if we're in prison or a prison of our own mind, peace and inner freedom are possible.
