The Secret Ingredients to Happiness

In this episode of the Searching Inward Podcast, George Stull, Scott Reall, Anna Bryant and Seth Abram talk about the secret ingredient to happiness. We explore how we can rethink our purpose outside our work in our pursuit for inner happiness so that we can find a deeper meaning in our lives. We discuss the role fear and shame play into our happiness, but also share what makes each of us happy.“The end goal is finding meaning, finding purpose. It doesn’t have to be done a specific way or in a specific place.” -Anna [06:22]“Sometimes I think we come into a point in life where we need to make our own personal meaning because the previously held understanding no longer makes sense for us.” -Seth [08:34]“We’re not talking about denying fear in our life. In fact, the more that we can hold it and understand it, the more that we can move through it and grow and move towards more creativity that’s bringing greater happiness.” -George [18:40]“Facing fear to me is one of the greatest challenges to live from a creative life, to keep growing.” -Scott [19:33]  TIMESTAMPS[00:56] Intro[01:35] How to start living fuller and happier lives[04:23] Finding a deeper meaning[07:08] Challenge to make new meanings for ourselves[11:28] The role that fears plays in happiness[19:05] Shame is a big part of fear[21:30] What makes us happy?[30:35] Happiness is what makes you feel aliveFollow and ContactFacebook: Restore Small GroupsInstagram: @restoresmallgroupsYouTube: Searching Inward PodcastWebsite: restoresmallgroups.org
