Episode 231 - What is the Substance of Life

In this episode, we talk about a fundamental question. Does life happen “to” us, or do we create it? Much of the time, our language suggests that events and people do things “to” us as if we are unwilling participants in our own lives. This is fine for victims, but not creators. Your life and my life consists of only two things. Time and Choice. We each have all the time there is on the clock. We each have a choice about what we do with that. That may seem hard to understand at first, but it is true. Next, there are three elements that make us who and what we are, Our Identity, our Agency, or right to choose, and our Dominion, or the control we have over things around us.
