Do you know your "why"?

Many people go about their day without a sense of purpose in mind. Though we sometimes miss out on things that ARE important because we feel obligated to a thing, a job, a person, or somebody else's why. 

This is the cause of the mid-life crisis. This is the reason so many people are unhappy and unfulfilled. This is the sad and unfortunate reality of our society.

We discuss the importance of having a "why", how and why discovery happens, and when our "why" shows up.

Memento Mori

I have been a follower of stoic philosophy for a long time. When I studied existentialism in college I felt a strong connection to the stoics and have since aligned myself a lot with what they believed. 

Why? Strength under pressure. 

I will be talking to my friend Maria on her Live channel about Grief. I believe that we can make an impact on people if we can help them simply grieve better. 

Remember, you will die

Everybody does. Accept it, and be free.
