Ever felt that sudden rush?
A vocation pops into your head: writer, politician, Ozzy Osbourne tribute act. And it’s like somebody’s flicked a switch.
You’ve finally got it. You know what you’re meant to do with your life.
How long until you start to doubt yourself? A month? A week? Maybe even a day?

Finding your purpose is exhausting.
It’s like yo-yoing between certainty and doubt, and you’re spinning with a hundred different emotions all the way up and down.
So how can…

When I was younger – in my teens, I thought I would never grow old. Ages like 30, 40, and 50 seemed ancient and eons away. People with careers, marriages, and children seemed to be doing boring things. I was just a rudderless youth enjoying life and going through the motions of school, home, and friends.
Yet with every birthday, the reality of growing older was dawning on me. As I matured, the responsibilities were adding up. Maybe at 12, I was carefree, but at fourteen, I felt much more was expected of me. I started noticing other young people like me excelling in academics and sports, and I felt pressured to do the same.
Indeed, I could see that I needed to make a…

One study demonstrated a significant decrease in chronic pain-related suffering from 10 weeks of mindfulness meditation.
Another study found that meditation improves pain tolerance by 57%.
How is this possible? To make sense of these results, it helps to know the difference between pain and suffering.
Pain vs. Suffering
Japanese writer Haruki Murakami famously wrote, “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
Many people don’t realize the key difference between pain and suffering. While pain is the physically uncomfortable stimulus, like a pinch on the arm, suffering is our emotional reaction to that pain.
Neuroscience has shown us recently that most of our suffering is caused by our response to pain, both anticipating its continuation and…
