38 - How to Live a Meaningful Life w/ author Robin Phillips pt.1

“In order to achieve your goals you must make sacrifices, commit daily, overcome challenges and work your plan. No one can do it for you, it is up to you.”
-Bernard Haynes

What is the meaning of life? An age old question which seems to have an infinite amount of answers. Is it helping others? Making money? Being a great parent, spouse, or friend? The simple act of deciding what your meaning or purpose in life is is a daunting task by itself which scares many away from the start.

So, how do we define our meaning and set out to living a meaningful, purpose driven life?

This week's guest is Robin Phillips, author of the book Gratitude in Life's Trenches: How to Experience the Good Life When Everything is Going Wrong. In his book, Robin uses his research from behavioral psychology, experiences as a writer, and experience at various monasteries to craft a well-rounded explanation fo how to practice gratitude and live the Good Life no matter the situations we face.

Throughout this episode Robin explains how we can find deep inner meaning in what we do, why sacrificing is the only way to achieve what we want, the importance of seeking discomfort every day, and so much more.

Make sure to tune in next week as we continue our conversation with Robin and dive deeper into his book, talk about the ways we can increase our ability to focus, the power of reframing, and so much more!
