A Quest to Finding Your True Self
Life is so beautiful but do we all recognize it? The great philosopher Alan Watts once said that the more human being gets something the more vulnerable it becomes. And that is very true in life. We all want the best but do we truly appreciate it when we have it? The answer, most of the time, is no. We are always chasing after something, whether it is materialistic possessions or intangible things like love and happiness. We quickly get used to what we obtain and desire more once we obtain it. It’s a never-ending cycle that only leads to misery and dissatisfaction. Today, we have a very lovely guest who, despite her stunning looks, discovered that physical attractiveness was insufficient in order for her to establish meaningful relationships. So she started on a journey to build the most important relationship of all, the relationship with herself. Milana Vayntrub is an actress, comedian, and activist who radiates happiness and love. If you pay attention to what she’s saying, your life will be completely altered.

Looks are not enough

- How can this very surface be enough to you?
Building Relationships
- I love being well dressed up
- But I don’t love to express myself physically
- And I don’t think that it’s enough for the basis of relationship (any kind of relationship)
- I found that if I put my intention more to my creativity and sense of humor and my connectivity with the people then I can build powerful relationships.
- And such relationships last longer.

Humor
