Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.

The word for today is reform, and we’re leaving it unchanged. I studied education systems in graduate school, and the phrase school reform was inescapable. Every level of politics either has a plan for school reform or is looking to appoint someone who can come in and clean house. In some ways, I can see their reasoning. We always want to push for better education, because if our public school curriculum were the same as it was 100 years ago, we’d be doing the youth of today an obvious disservice. However, too much reform starts to feel unstable. Teachers and administrators need to be able to rely on keeping their jobs, despite regime changes, but many times the house cleaners want to start fresh. The same is true in our personal lives. We have to find the balance between feeling comfortable and staving off stagnancy.

Today’s concrete challenge is to list two things in your life that need to change and two things that need to stay the same.

If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will create targeted personal reform.”

I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.

Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who seeks balance.”
