#786: Giving Meaning To a Text Message

Freedom from Attachment

Ever feel like you're searching for meaning in all the wrong places? “Oh he texted me!” or “ “she said she sometimes thinks of us in the future.” In this episode, Tracy explores how we often give significance to things which really aren’t meaningful , especially in relationships, and why it leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled. Tracy brings some historical anecdote about President Lyndon B. Johnson to illustrate how we can find true meaning.. It's about the connections we create and the values we uphold. Key takeaways from this episode: * Seeking meaning from others' actions or words is a recipe for disappointment * What genuine meaning is within yourself * The difference between superficial and deep, fulfilling meaning. * Gain insights on how to feel good throughmeaning and purpose "You break patterns by getting uncomfortable—real growth happens when you stop avoiding yourself, connect deeply, and take emotionally risky actions." ~ Tracy Crossley
