Welcome back to "For Self-Examination" with your host, Dr. Christopher Taylor. After insightful episodes on narcissism, Dr. Taylor shifts focus to a powerful concept that has impacted his life—ego. Reflecting on a transformative idea introduced by Jim Carrey, the episode encourages a shift in perspective as we approach 2024.

Dr. Taylor shares Carrey's profound insight: "Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you." Exploring the liberating notion that challenges victimhood, he emphasizes the power of choice. The new year often prompts resolutions, and Dr. Taylor urges listeners to contemplate the motivation behind their choices.

Drawing from Carrey's graduation speech, the episode explores the dichotomy of choices—fear versus love. Dr. Taylor encourages making choices driven by love, gratitude, and acceptance. He shares how embracing this mindset has positively influenced his own life, fostering resilience and empowerment.

As 2024 unfolds, Dr. Taylor invites listeners to view life through the lens of love, making choices not out of obligation but as a powerful opportunity. The episode concludes with warm wishes for a wonderful start to the new year.
