  • You Only Get What You Give

    How can we find common ground?  How can we find unity instead of finding division among ourselves?  This discussion tonight is a deep discussion Cullen and Raj had a few days ago to try and understand some of the ongoing stresses and issues that COVID-19 has brought to our communities, our jobs, and our relationships.

    They talk about anxiety and some prolific advice from an amazing thinker, Naval Ravikant.  We all have anxiety - let's admit it.  What can we do about it?  How can we wrestle it and understand it in order to simply get rid of it or reduce it?

    We have two opportunities in life at the fork in the road -- go left or go right.  Left is more fighting, more anger, and more stress.  Going right is taking a deep breath, giving up our ego, and finding more understanding among in our community, our friends, and loved ones.  What will you choose the next time you're at this fork in life's road?
