Summary
We spend so much time obsessing over the 20% of things that don’t really matter—what they think of us, if we said the right thing, if we’re doing enough—when in reality, 80% of our happiness comes from the simplest things. The people who show up. The moments that make us feel alive. The things we do just because they make us happy.
This episode is your reminder to stop giving so much of your energy to the things that won’t matter in a year. Let’s talk about shifting your focus, letting go of what’s draining you, and learning how to actually enjoy your life.

| 0:27.9 | You just absolutely despise some of the little things that they do. |
| 0:33.8 | Well, I want you to know that that's normal. |
| 0:36.4 | First off, like you're not crazy for thinking that way. |
| 0:39.3 | But there's actually a theory behind this. And it's called the 80-20 rule in relationships. |
| 0:45.0 | And today I want to take the time to break this down and why this rule can either save your |

| 1:11.9 | with yourself or with other people and next episode is going to be really interesting because I got |
