ALL EPISODES

There are few easier ways to shoot yourself in the foot than to get hung up on what's fair. Bad people deserve bad things to happen to them, but the efforts we make to try to make them pay don't always serve us. Maybe someone wronged you, maybe they stole money from you and got away with it, but in our attempts to seek out justice, maybe we're just causing more harm to ourselves.

What in life deserves our time and attention and what things don't? I hope that as we consider that question, along with other topics on this show, that we can all learn to live our lives just a little more intentionally. This is Seth Roberts. Thanks for joining me on Skipping Stones - “We Are All Just a Little Delusional.” There have been a few times in my life where I found myself briefly thinking or believing something that upon further reflection was absolutely ridiculous

The reason words matter is because when we cannot accurately name or describe a thing, we are powerless to take action. How could we? Without a name for that which we are experiencing or seeing, we do not even know the thing that needs to be acted upon. When we are afraid, if we can learn the source of this fear and put a name to it, that fear often goes away, or at the very least, it's weakened.
