  Speaker0: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the EyeOpener Society and welcome back to the
• 0:06
  Speaker0: EyeOpener Society studio.
• 0:08
  Speaker0: I'm so happy to have everybody joining us here. And thank you again for the listens.
• 0:13
  Speaker0: Thank you again for the downloads. You guys are such a fantastic audience.
• 0:18
  Speaker0: I do wish that I had my stepdaughter with me, Hannah.
• 0:23
  Speaker0: She is doing well. I have plans to bring her back onto the show.
• 0:28
  Speaker0: It may not happen right away, but I do got some ideas.
• 0:32
  Speaker0: I know she's been dying to get back on the air. I know she has so much to talk about, so much to say.
• 0:38
  Speaker0: I may give her her own show at this point, but she is doing well,
• 0:42
  Speaker0: and I appreciate everybody that's been sending her warm wishes and everything else.
• 0:48
  Speaker0: I'm going to do this quick podcast based upon things that we should rid our
• 0:55
  Speaker0: lives of in order to be happy, in order to enjoy things.
• 0:59
  Speaker0: Because I feel we've just been too much on edge.
• 1:04
  Speaker0: And there's a lot of reasons behind that. We hold on to things that we shouldn't be holding on to.
• 1:09
  Speaker0: There is a beauty in Buddhism. And now I don't really know much about the religion,
• 1:15
  Speaker0: but I do follow some of the Instagram stuff and some Facebook stuff that deals with Buddhism.
• 1:23
  Speaker0: I like the peacefulness of it.
• 1:26
  Speaker0: I am pagan myself and I can incorporate a lot of the ideas, but the philosophies
• 1:33
  Speaker0: behind it are really exciting to me because I learn a lot from it.
• 1:37
  Speaker0: I learn a lot how to be spiritual.
• 1:39
  Speaker0: I learn a lot how to keep things happy within my own space and in my own world.
• 1:46
  Speaker0: So the things that we should be holding on to, we don't.
• 1:51
  Speaker0: We usually get rid of them too easy. We get rid of joy. We get rid of happiness. We give it away.
• 1:57
  Speaker0: But there are things that we really should be giving away that would help us
• 2:01
  Speaker0: to be more joyful and more happy.
• 2:04
  Speaker0: So one, and the big one is number one on the list, the ego.
• 2:09
  Speaker0: The ego prevents you from learning from others, right? Because we just think
• 2:14
  Speaker0: me, me, me, and it's only my ideas, my thoughts.
• 2:17
  Speaker0: We don't absorb what others teach us.
• 2:20
  Speaker0: We don't absorb the positive energy from other people when the ego is in place.
• 2:24
  Speaker0: So we need to get rid of the ego first.
• 2:26
  Speaker0: And a lot of the other things will fall in line with that.
• 2:29
  Speaker0: Envy. Envy prevents you from focusing on yourself.
• 2:34
  Speaker0: I'm so envious of what other people have, their materialistic things,
• 2:39
  Speaker0: focus on yourself, understand more about yourself.
• 2:42
  Speaker0: And that would eliminate the envy and that will keep you focused more on your own happiness.
• 2:50
  Speaker0: Anger. Anger is a big one. Anger is destroying a lot, but anger prevents you from seeing clearly.
• 2:57
  Speaker0: You know, when we talk about that blind rage, it means just that you become
• 3:02
  Speaker0: blinded and we don't see anything else clearly.
• 3:06
  Speaker0: We can't see through that anger and we cannot work through that situation when anger is present.
• 3:13
  Speaker0: And this one, I think we all need to get rid of myself included is ignorance.
• 3:19
  Speaker0: Ignorance prevents you from making good decisions.
• 3:23
  Speaker0: Let's stop jumping onto the bandwagon. Let's stop making decisions on a whim.
• 3:30
  Speaker0: Don't be ignorant about them. Give some thought behind it and that will help
• 3:34
  Speaker0: you to lead a more fulfilling life.
• 3:38
  Speaker0: Fear. Fear is something we all have and fear is, it takes over.
• 3:45
  Speaker0: It really does. But fear prevents you from seizing opportunities.
• 3:50
  Speaker0: We're very fearful of change. We're very fearful of doing something new.
• 3:55
  Speaker0: It prevents us from being happy that way.
• 3:57
  Speaker0: So if we get rid of the ego, envy, anger, ignorance, and fear,
• 4:02
  Speaker0: we'll be a lot better off as people.
• 4:05
  Speaker0: So I thank you for joining me on this podcast. I wanted to give a quick shout
