Pt. 2 What Aren't Needs & The Happiness Paradox | The Three Ordinary Voices of God Series

from A Little More Inspired · host Blanca Contreras

Welcome back to a new episode of A Little More Inspired. I’m so excited to continue my series on T⁠he Three Ordinary Voices of God by Matthew Kelly⁠. In Part 2, we’re diving deeper into the first ordinary voice: the Voice of Needs. In this episode, I explore what aren’t real needs, and unpack the Happiness Paradox—why getting what we want often doesn’t truly satisfy.I’ll walk through some of the biggest myth-busters about needs versus wants. Needs sustain life and keep us grounded—physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Wants can be good, but when they take the driver’s seat, they often distract us, enslave us, or even lead us to compromise our values.As Matthew Kelly reminds us, listening to our needs builds wisdom and freedom. But chasing wants without discernment often leaves us dissatisfied and restless.As always, my hope is that this episode leaves you thinking, reflecting, and feeling a little more inspired.....✨ Stay Connected & Inspired! ✨🌐 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠alittlemoreinspired.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alittlemoreinspired⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📧 Email: [email protected]....“music by penguinmusic - "Better Day from Pixabay”
