180. Why Are You Getting Upset?: 3 Ideas...

Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

How many little things upset you each day? It’s easy to react to the many tiny incidents that irk us daily. But is it really worth it? In this summer mini episode, we discuss the spiritual importance of letting the small stuff go and focusing on the things that really matter.




“I do not believe it is possible for any one of us to allow very few things to upset us or cause us pain unless we are really doing the difficult spiritual work. That is, certainty in the Light of the Creator.” – Michael Berg
