Have you ever aspired to be "okay"? Perhaps that's what you've been missing all along. In this episode, Justin explores the often-overlooked wisdom of embracing okayness. Rather than rushing from hardship to euphoric highs, Justin makes a compelling case for stabilizing in a state of "okay" as the essential bridge to a sustainably joyful life.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why craving constant greatness can lead to burnout
  • The emotional relief of stepping into neutrality
  • How "being okay" acts as a ladder out of chaos
  • The power of vision and incremental improvement
  • How accepting your okayness can enhance your view of the world

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt trapped in the pendulum swing between suffering and perfection.
