# 114 - What Weakness Did I Overcome Today? What Virtue Did I Acquire?

In todays podcast I dissect a quote from Seneca (and mistakenly say it's Marcus Aurelius haha forgive me!) - Every night before going to sleep, we must ask ourselves: what weakness did I overcome today? What virtue did I acquire?

We all have weaknesses but many of us don't like facing the truth. Work on what weakens you and what virtue strengthens you.

Even 2000 years ago Seneca was teaching Personal Development. Your challenge today and everyday is to take this quote and action it. In your diary or journal. Do you want to change? Enjoy.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone and Dare to Be Different!

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."

# 111 - If You Don't Know Where You Are Going How Will You Get There?

In todays episode I discuss another Seneca quote: “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.”
