The Life's Essentials with Prem Rowa podcast explores how we shape our lives and live life to the fullest. Prem Rowa uses an analogy of blue and white marbles to explain capturing good moments and avoiding pain and suffering. The capacity to store good moments is available to every human being. Some people struggle to collect the good marbles due to various reasons like focusing on difficulties or wanting things to be a certain way. We often seek explanations for everything but sometimes it's better to wait for technology or future improvements before seeking answers. Technology has improved over time, allowing for more efficient extraction of resources. New discoveries are constantly being made in the field of cancer research. Uncertainty is a part of life, and not all questions can be answered. Enjoying and accepting every moment is a way to be ready for whatever may come. Beliefs about karma can shape how people interpret events in their lives. The hosts of the podcast 'Two Mr. P's' discuss funny and memorable experiences from school. A story is shared about a king who cuts his thumb and later realizes it saved him from being sacrificed. Moments in life can be shaped into whatever we desire, but it requires consciousness and awareness. Life is a chunk of time that can be divided into moments. There is no scale for wisdom or happiness, but there is a scale for time. Being normal dictates what happiness means, but the pandemic has disrupted that. Happiness and peace are possible even in the midst of the pandemic. Filtering out misinformation and focusing on what is true is crucial. Technology has increased individual responsibility to filter out what is good and true. Paying attention to joy and beauty should be a daily habit.
