Yes, life doesn't have to be a struggle, regardless of what you think about what's actually going on in your life right now or your previous "failures".

Yes, you can allow what's best for you come about in your life by allowing yourself be. A lot of "allowing" going on here. And this is the secret to a wonderful life.

We're constantly plagued by one of our thinking mind's greatest drawbacks... wanting.

So, for starters in this episode, we explore the fundamentals of want, starting with the most fundamental want of all... wanting to be wanted! After all, it's nice to be liked, particularly when, using our normal thinking mind normally, we may not like ourselves all that much.

We explore comparative want - wanting what others have, wanting what we think makes those others look more happy and successful that we think we are ourselves.

We inevitably explore jealousy and the roots of comparative thinking and, in the end, we realise that it is thinking itself that is the root of all our problems or, should I say, perceived problems.

We'd be better off not thinking at all! We'd be better of... letting ourselves be.

And that's where this episode will take you.

You have a choice - you can either use your mind normally and, in the process, allow your normal thinking mind abuse you or...

You can take charge of your inner world and transform your outer world and, while you're at it, the lives of those around you and, as if that weren't wonderful enough, add your little bit of joy and calm to a world that badly needs it.

In this episode, we explore how to do that in the simplest and straightforward way by using something that you're already doing... breathing.

We explore why this is so important and, in doing so, we begin not only to understand the consequences but to actually experience them in terms of what happens in our daily lives, how we behave moment-to-moment and how we meet and rise to the occasion when confronted by life's everyday challenges - small, medium and large.

But, as always, there's more to it than that. Not only is this about looking after yourself and living the life that's best for you, it's actually a matter of life and death... yours.

Words have power - we explore that a little at the outset in this episode.

But that's only a prelude to a flow of information and insight that, I hope, will allow you awaken, know yourself, experience your inner power and, then, allow it to be unleashed on a waiting world, starting with what you might consider to be your own "little world".

There's a lot of "allowing" going on here. Truth is, we don't have to do an awful lot to change our world and, as we explore in this episode, this change can take place in the twinkling of an eye.

In fact, you could say, we have to do less.

We only need do the important stuff (effortlessly), informed as to what is important by... simply turning up to the here and now.

Now, this is a matter of life and death - your turning up to your life will enable you start living like you mean it; it will impact those you love and those around you (including those who you think you certainly do not love!) and it will impact the world at large.

Stop being part of the problem - this chaotic world in which we exist - and start being the solution... effortlessly. It means a lot.
