i love the three factors which are more important in one's life, they are the physical health, mental wellness and financial fitness

[@rikkafe6050]

Quality of life is about the balance between one's expectations and one's personal character/abilities to meet those expectations. The problem is that our expectations are constantly being antagonised by an onslaught of information from advertising, social media etc. An example is the car we buy. A car just needs to get you from a to b in an economical and comfortable manner. Yet all the advertising contrives only to play on your emotions. Hence the money we spend on a car is often disproportional to what it needs to serve. Cars swishing around mountain roads, the inference if you do not have the latest model you can not be a successful or vibrant individual etc, etc. All this keeps our expectations out of reach. Even get the latest of everything are you really happy?

That's great, i ever hear that environment doesn't shape us to be stylish, actually whatever you need available on earth. So control our mind and emotions for relaized to not be extravagant.

Brain Health is Wealth…. I like that!!

Anxiety is fear, but an Unknown fear - once you’re into fear you’re cut off from connecting with Source information - ‘‘tis then you are operating solely from the ego. Therefore, anxiety is a friend only if you use it properly - and if you’re aware of this, then you should be able to handle the anxiety until it dissolves. After you are liberated then you can use a higher way of handling danger, you no longer need that trauma-induced anxiety which is a very unpleasant feeling.

Brain doesnt make ua smarter experience and wisdom does. Elephant has bigger brain and memories but their evolutions still slower. People still dies in the end. Peace of mind comes from internal not external.

Yikes, you should probably stick to google translate for English. That's one painful comment to read.

[@AndreikVlogs]

Some people don't know that comments can be auto translated on youtube. You live, and you learn 😅

At 74 yrs old, I'd love to hear financial insightful guidance. My $450K home will be paid off in less than 3 yrs (interest 2.75%) I've a $535K (with no payments, by contract, till I die!) My kids are successfully comfortable. Were I to sell them NOW, before the impending financial downturn and devaluing US dollar, I would have a gross of over a million USD. I also hold $100K in physical silver and $100K in physical US currency. I have lost a trusted fiduciary ... Where to turn?

[@inspirechoice]

Anxiety evolves :))) the God of evolution! Give me a break! God is God and created everything!!!

[@ivannovotny4552]

Amazing presentation and thank you for sharing/posting. Is Dr. Wendy Suzuki related to David Suzuki? Thank you.

[@RossCummins]

I liked what was said at 18:20 about turning your own anxieties into an act of compassion and empathy. I believe everybody has the ability to do this for others. ❤

[@ryanab01]

Happiness to me is interacting with friends and family and exchanging thoughts and feelings, achieving goals, and supporting one another. This descriptor can be used in many ways, such as raising kids, supporting your spouse, participating in organizations like the Boy Scouts or sports teams, or a band performance. To do all of these things, we are enslaved to our work in order to pay for everything, but money in itself means nothing.

[@AnthonyTurner-p9l]

You make complex topics feel so easy!
