The Five Givens of Life: The Realisation That Brings Deep Inner Peace
For years, I believed peace meant getting everything just right. calm mornings, a steady mind, and a life that finally stayed still.
But life had other plans.
In this episode, I share a story from my early meditation training. A lesson that began with a thundering roof full of possums and ended with one of the most liberating realisations of my life.
We’ll also explore a profound insight from psychologist David Richo on the five givens of life, and how embracing them can transform the way we meet change, pain, and imperfection.
If you’ve ever longed for peace that lasts, even when the roof is shaking, this episode is for you.
