The Rob Arthur Podcast Rob Arthur

Just wanted to give you all a heads up, I'm going to be stepping away from this podcast, at least for now.

I will still be writing daily, and I’ll be sharing that on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Substack.

I'll have a link to my Substack in the podcast description, and I'm "therobarthur" on all the channels I just mentioned.

Thank you so much for all your support.

It's meant more to me than you could ever know.

You’ve got this.

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us.

These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages.

Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or even accurate.

Take a minute and take a deep breath.

What’s actually happening?

You've got this.

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection.

So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form.

We do this not only with others but also ourselves.

What if we simply listened?

You've got this.

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving.

No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something.

Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do.

Life isn't always a problem to be solved.

It's often only a mystery to be lived.

All we can do then is live it.

You've got this.

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right.

Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear.

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most.

This includes ourselves.

You've got this.

Our thoughts make wonderful servants.

They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation.

When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters.

They can drive us to rumination, worry, and obstinance.

Let your thoughts serve you.

You've got this.
