Summary

In this episode, Dawn shares two helpful insights. The first is to make a decision and make the best of it, rather than getting stuck in indecision. The second is to let go of displeasure and not let it ruin our lives. She emphasizes that most of our emotional disturbances are self-created and come from displeasure. Dawn encourages listeners to accept what is and do the best they can with it, recognizing their own worth and uniqueness.
