To know thyself is to love thyself. It's your environment on where you put yourself. So money changes your life and it will change the people around you. But if I have money and I'm doing all these wrong things, I can't put my head on the pillow, you know, and then you know your life is not, you're not going to make yourself happy- is what I'm saying.
Ever wondered what truly makes us happy? In this engaging episode of 'When Coffee Meets Tea', hosts Rob Girard and Denise Bertalovitz sip on their favorite beverages while tackling the elusive concept of happiness. Rob, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, shares stories from his clients who, despite having wealth, find themselves grappling with unhappiness. He argues that while money can change circumstances, it doesn’t necessarily lead to genuine happiness.
Instead, he believes our surroundings and the people we choose to be with play a much larger role in our overall well-being. Denise, a Certified Life Coach, adds her perspective on the importance of self-compassion and being kind to oneself. She opens up about her own struggles with self-talk and how it has impacted her happiness. The discussion takes a deeper turn as they explore the idea that suffering is an integral part of life.
Quoting a musician, Rob says, 'to live is to suffer, and to find meaning in life is to find the meaning of the suffering'. They delve into how our daily struggles and emotional pain shape our experiences and lead to a better understanding of ourselves and the world. Towards the end, the conversation shifts to investing in oneself.
Rob shares his passion for collecting basketball cards, describing it as an adult hobby that brings him joy and a sense of investment in something he loves. The hosts encourage listeners to find their own passions and invest in themselves, whether through hobbies or learning new skills. This episode is like sitting down with good friends who offer both empathy and practical advice on finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures.
