exodus 90

We live in a world where people are quick to say that certain events (and even life itself) are meaningless. But Viktor Frankl, the famous psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor believed every human has the capacity to find meaning in life.

And yet, if you go looking for meaning in things you can’t control, you can end up deeply bitter or depressed. In this episode we discuss our responsibility for finding meaning in our lives and how to start seeking it, using insights from Frankl’s book “Man’s Search for Meaning.”

We got a lot of positive feedback from our last episode about fearless goal-setting, so we’re going to dive deeper into that topic!

Now we’ll look specifically at the passion of FEAR and answer these questions:

– Why does fear show up when you pursue a hard goal?
– What is the difference between fear as a vice and fear as a feeling?
– How can you let fear happen naturally without letting it control you?

When you set a worthy goal for yourself, you’re going to experience fear. But there’s no need to worry. As we say about fear, “It’s always in the car, but that doesn’t mean you let it drive.”

St. Thomas Aquinas identified five kinds of fear. In this episode, we’ll explain what they are and tell you about six virtues to help you grow in fortitude, so you can meet your fears head-on!

At Metanoia Catholic, we’re big on helping people feel their emotions—but not all of them.

Some emotions lead us to virtue, but indulgent emotions can lead us to vice. Let’s face it, though: We all have our go-to indulgent emotions. Do any of your favorite “indulgent” emotions show up on the list we share in this episode?
