"One of the things that we as a society do not do, is listen. Even when we are think we are listening we are thinking of what we are going to say back, we do not listen well, the reality is that I think my health and wellbeing and my families health and wellbeing is dependent on the wellbeing of people around me, in my Community in my neighborhood, where I work and what have you, again the whole concept of inter-dependence verses independence." Joe Yancey

In this episode you will realize:

\u2022How hope is CONTAGIOUS
\u2022How we must accept people for WHO they are, and not be too judgmental \u2013 because everybody is where they are because of something that has happened \u2013 good or bad. It may not necessarily be their fault if they are down on luck.
\u2022That somewhere between \u201cyour side\u201d and \u201cmy side\u201d, lies the TRUE side of a story if we will only listen.
\u2022Why listening is so important \u2013 people can hear somebody talking without actually listening to what they are saying.
\u2022If we listen, slow down, breath and accept people around us for what they are, we can start the long journey of being truly alive and well.
\u2022Life can be tough, and if we can take it slowly step by step and meet all challenges, then we can slowly but surely make it through our journey \u2013 because that is what life is \u2013 a journey, and its up to each of us to make the best of that journey that we can.
\u2022People don\u2019t understand that the connection between what is good for us and how we respond to these things is a vital part of living life to its full.

Joe gives us an incisive understanding of stress and its impact on our health and lives.
