Striking a balance, they're going to know it because they feel good. And if you're not striking a balance, you're going to know it because you're not feeling good. And if you're not feeling good, then you find out, hey, am I obsessing about myself? What do I need to do to get out of that? Go help somebody.
Ever feel like you're caught in a tug-of-war between your past, present, and future? In this engaging episode of 'The Solution', hosts Craig and Josh tackle these mental gymnastics head-on. They kick things off by diving into the harsh realities of alcohol addiction, sharing personal anecdotes that are as eye-opening as they are heartfelt. Craig opens up about his own struggles with alcoholism, shedding light on how clinging to the past or obsessing over the future can stunt personal growth.
He emphasizes the liberating power of living in the 'now', urging listeners to find their balance. Josh brings a fresh perspective on forgiveness, suggesting that while it's crucial to forgive, forgetting isn't always necessary. He even offers a unique tip: pray for those you find hard to forgive. This episode isn't just about letting go of resentments; it's about moving from isolation to connection, and finding peace in detachment from material possessions.
Whether you're battling addiction or simply seeking a more balanced life, Craig and Josh's candid conversation is sure to resonate. Tune in for a blend of wisdom, humor, and genuine support.
