Description

In this thought-provoking episode of Words With Myself, we delve into the intricacies of the human ego and the identities we construct. Through deep reflection, we explore how our perceptions often lead us to view the world through limited lenses, resulting in absolute beliefs about fairness, justice, and happiness.


We discuss the dynamics of optimism and pessimism, and the complex interplay between fate and personal agency. By examining how our thoughts shape our realities, this episode encourages listeners to embrace life's complexity and let go of the desire to control every outcome.


Ultimately, the conversation leads to a powerful conclusion: in a world where not all experiences can be labeled as purely positive or negative, finding peace in acceptance and living in the present moment can transform our perceptions and enrich our lives.
