About this episode
Why do we keep doing things that don’t serve us—and avoid doing things we know would improve our lives? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the surprising role that pleasure and pain play in every decision we make. The truth is that both change and staying the same come with a price. As long as the pain of change appears greater than the pain of remaining where we are, we’ll stay stuck. Through a simple but powerful framework, you’ll discover how human motivation really works and how to make choices that lead to growth, freedom, and fulfillment. If you’re ready to stop avoiding discomfort and start creating meaningful change, this episode will help you choose your pain wisely.
