Fall is beginning. That means winter is coming. Nothing new there - it's been happening for thousands of years. But before we move on or start looking ahead too soon, we should slow down and smell the... pumpkins? Maybe not. But we should slow down and think for a while - not about the world or even your nation, but you...personally.  What is happening in your life and what future are you headed towards?  How have you actually grown so far this year?  These questions are easy to ask and read (or listen to), but will we take the time to consider and answer them?  This episode is not a conversation. I am reading two articles from the Fall 2022 edition of the Magnolia Journal. I'm reading it because I found them useful and hope you will as well. But also, to use it as a way to ask you: what are you reading? You must have more than your own thoughts in your mind. You must have more content than whatever youtube video or social media channel you follow. There is immense benefit in taking time to read, consider, think. Stop watching screens and READ. Your mind will benefit as well as your body, and it helps you slow down and be present in wherever you are and whatever season of life you are in right now. Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoy it and that it contributes to your next winning decision.
