Episode 039 - EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

Relaxing outdoors underneath a rain and thunderstorm in New Mexico, Jonathan discusses several topics and shares some new tools he's been using to maintain recovery from schizoaffective disorder. The idea of schizophrenia or any such tragedy being a result of the universe "teaching lessons," as in, does everything in life "happen for a reason?" is brought to the surface in this episode. The idea that we, as unique individuals might be the ones who give "meaning" to things in general. Mental illness can be quite a roller coaster ride, but keeping hope and faith alive is key to recovery and peace of mind, however people define what it is for them that they want out of life in general.
