We think we need the right circumstances to enjoy life. The perfect plan, the ideal setting, everything just so. But what if that’s an illusion?

In this episode, Bilos returns from a trip to Japan that could have easily been a disaster—budget accommodations, unexpected surprises, and plenty of reasons to complain. Instead, it turned into one of the best experiences of his life. Why? Because of how he and his friends chose to experience it.

We dive into:

✅ How your attitude—not your environment—shapes your experience.

✅ Why resisting reality creates suffering, and surrender creates freedom.

✅ The hidden brilliance in life’s so-called imperfections.

✅ A simple practice to shift from frustration to playfulness in any situation.

This episode is a masterclass in the art of fully living. If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for the “right” moment to enjoy life, this one’s for you.
