  Speaker 3: Einstein gets on a plane. He knows it's a long flight,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: so he turns to the man next to him and says,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a long flight. Why don't we
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: play a game. I'll ask you a question and if
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: you can't answer it, you give me five dollars. Then
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: you ask me a question, and since I'm smarter, if
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I can't answer, I'll give you one hundred dollars. The
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: man wasn't insulted at being called less smart than Einstein,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: but he did agree to the arrangement. And so Einstein
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: goes first and asks this question, what is the exact
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: distance from the Earth to the moon. The man thinks
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and thinks, but he can't find the answer. He says,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He reaches into his pocket and gives
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Einstein five dollars. Now it's the man's turn, so he says,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: what goes up a hill with two legs and down
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a hill with three. Einstein thinks and thinks and thinks.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But even when his great mind and extensive knowledge fails,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: he can't think think of an answer. So he reaches
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: into his pocket and gives the man one hundred dollars.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: He is greatly disturbed and confused, though, so he asks
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the man, before I take my next turn, what goes
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: up a hill with two legs and down a hill
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: with three without skipping a beat. The man reaches into
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: his pocket and gives Einstein five dollars. Sometimes we simply
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: get our priorities out of whack. We forget what is
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: truly most important, and we need to be reminded from
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: time to time just what are the truest luxuries in life.
• 2:59

  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: The question was what is the only planet on our
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: solar system that rotates clockwise on its axis? The answer Venus.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it spins in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: opposite direction of most other planets in our solar system.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: This means that on Venus, the sun would appear to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: rise in the west and set in the east, which
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: is the reverse of Earth's rotation. Now you know, Welcome
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: back to the podcast everyone. In today's episode, we're diving
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: deep into something I think we often overlook in our
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: fast paced world, the real luxuries in life. We tend
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to get caught up in the pursuit of material wealth,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the next big thing, or the idea of success. But
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: in reality, there are so many simpler, yet deeply fulfilling
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: treasures that are often more accessible than we realize. Before
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: we explore the full list, let's take a moment to reflect.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: How often do you pause to appreciate the things that
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: truly nourish your soul. We live in a society that
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: tells us that the pursuit of more, more things, more achievements,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: more recognition is the key to happiness. But what if
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the real luxuries are the quiet, subtle moments we sometimes
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: take for granted. In this segment, I want to explore
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that those luxuries are and what they might look like
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: for each of us. Think about your life right now.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Is it the endless pursuit of success or is it
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: something far simpler? Let's shift our focus, just for a moment,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: to what truly matters, because the truth is, life's greatest
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: treasures often can't be bought. And with that, I want
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to leave you with a thought, what would happen if
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: we started to truly appreciate the simplest pleasures that are
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: already within our reach. Let's dive into the list for
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: real luxuries, and by the end, hope that we can
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: all take away a bit more clarity on what really
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: brings us joy. The real luxuries in life time health,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a quiet mind, slow mournings, the ability to travel, rest
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: without guilt, a good night's sleep, calm and boring days,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: meaningful conversations, home cooked meals, people you love, people who
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: love you back.
