    The Missing Element in Your Quest for Change: Containers – Episode #715

    Dr. Paul Jenkins opens this episode with an intriguing concept: while information today is plentiful and easily accessible, the real challenge lies in transforming that information into something meaningful and impactful. Enter the idea of "containers"—frameworks or contexts that give information its value and relevance. Dr. Paul shares how, despite our unlimited access to information, many feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to initiate real change in their lives.   Drawing from his own experience and teachings, Dr. Paul explains that containers help us make sense of the information we consume. They provide the framework needed for transformation by organizing information into something actionable. He discusses how coaching, community, and even the positivity model he developed, serve as examples of effective containers.   To bring home the importance of intentional container selection, Dr. Paul touches on societal influences like the news and social media, which can shape our thinking and affect mental health. Choosing the right container can lead to peace, confidence, and hope—key elements in well-being and personal growth. Dr. Paul invites listeners to explore "Positives," a new platform aimed at organizing such meaningful experiences, and encourages them to be deliberate in choosing containers that align with their values and goals.

    The Stories that Run Your Life – Episode #714

    In this episode, Dr. Paul Jenkins unpacks the concept that your life's experiences are less about the events you face and more about the stories you tell yourself about those events. He emphasizes that circumstances are inherently neutral and it’s our brain’s evaluation that gives them meaning, which in turn affects our emotions and actions. By understanding this process, Dr. Paul shows us how we can rewrite these internal narratives to foster more positive outcomes in our lives. Dr. Paul illustrates how stories arise from our brain's natural process of evaluation, where it assesses whether situations are safe, dangerous, good, or bad. These stories then influence how we feel and behave. He explains how confirmation bias can make stories self-fulfilling by making us look for evidence that supports our pre-existing beliefs. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that we are the authors of our own narratives, with the ability to reshape them for personal growth. The episode also touches upon how practicing mindfulness and becoming more aware of these internal stories can lead to different choices, ultimately affecting our personal and professional lives positively. Through examples and insights, Dr. Paul guides listeners on how they can shift from destructive narratives to empowering ones, crafting a mindset that fuels peace, confidence, and hope for the future. As Dr. Paul announces the imminent rebranding of the podcast, he introduces listeners to the new Positives platform. This platform is a resource for daily and monthly 'positives' and includes access to personalized coaching to assist in this transformative process, encouraging listeners to be proactive in rewriting their stories for a better, more positive life.

    The Best Investment You’ll Ever Make – Episode #711

    What if the greatest investment you could ever make has nothing to do with money? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores one of the most remarkable findings from the 80+ year Harvard Study of Adult Development: the strongest predictor of a happy, healthy life isn’t wealth, achievement, or status—it’s the quality of our relationships.

    The Gravity of Negative Thinking – Episode #710

    Why does one negative comment seem to outweigh ten positive ones? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the surprising power of negativity and why our minds naturally gravitate toward it. Inspired by a thought-provoking question from Price Pritchett—”What’s more important: more positives or fewer negatives?”—this episode examines how negative thoughts can consume the benefits of even our best efforts. Discover how concepts like negativity bias, ownership bias, and even the laws of physics help explain why “default is down,” and learn practical ways to release the mental burdens that keep you stuck. Sometimes the key to a better life isn’t adding more—it’s carrying less. Ready to increase your positives and decrease your negatives – we’ve got you! https://liveonpurposeradio.com/positives

    The Unhealed Hear Wounds, Not Words – Episode #709

    Why do some comments roll right off our backs while others cut deeply? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the powerful idea that we don’t always hear what is said—we hear it through the filters we’ve developed over a lifetime of experiences. When those filters are shaped by unresolved hurt, we may hear wounds instead of words. Building on the familiar phrase, “hurt people hurt people,” Dr. Paul explains how emotional wounds influence our perceptions, reactions, and relationships. More importantly, he offers a hopeful invitation to take responsibility for our own healing so we can experience greater peace, healthier relationships, and a clearer understanding of ourselves and others.

    Choose Your Pain – Episode #708

    Why do we keep doing things that don’t serve us—and avoid doing things we know would improve our lives? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the surprising role that pleasure and pain play in every decision we make. The truth is that both change and staying the same come with a price. As long as the pain of change appears greater than the pain of remaining where we are, we’ll stay stuck. Through a simple but powerful framework, you’ll discover how human motivation really works and how to make choices that lead to growth, freedom, and fulfillment. If you’re ready to stop avoiding discomfort and start creating meaningful change, this episode will help you choose your pain wisely.
