Ep.418 - It Is Not Events, But Judgments

About this episode

This episode discusses how the judgments we attach to events can create emotional suffering.

Most people spend their lives trying to control events.Trying to control outcomes.Trying to control other people.Trying to control timing.But suffering often begins not with what happened…But with the meaning we attach to what happened.A rejection becomes:“I’m not good enough.”A delay becomes:“My life is falling apart.”A mistake becomes:“I’ll never recover.”The event may have caused discomfort…But the judgment creates the emotional prison.
