This wise man knew a thing or two about life - he gathered a crowd to teach them how to get rid of their sorrows and brought the house down with one hilarious joke! But when the same punchline came around for the third time? Not even so much as an amused smirk from anyone in attendance...With twinkle in his eye and smile on his face he said to those gathered: “How often do we keep carrying our sorrows without change? We can’t laugh at the same jokes over and yet expect different results from living through familiar pain!"

We all know the old adage: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all." Gossiping may sound harmless - a little bit of juicy information here, and there can seem tempting. But like an irresistible addiction, gossip isn’t just damaging for those involved; its consequences linger long and often strike with unexpected force! So if Socrates were around today, he'd surely remind us that when considering what comes out our mouths, we should use his three sieves – squash it fast before any unnecessary drama ensues…

In a small Italian town, hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large sum of money to a loan-shark. The loan-shark was a very old, and unkind guy that just so happened to fancy the business owner’s daughter.

He decided to offer the businessman a deal that would completely wipe out the debt he owed him. There was a catch though.

Take a listen to remind all of us to think outside of the box.

The new year is just this time to focus our attention on long term growth and wellness. Rather than resolutions, I like to focus on goal setting. Goals allow us to push ourselves to achieve something greater than our current reality. While there are many ways to begin this journey, I have found using SMART Goals the most successful. 

Here’s a template that has created oversized success for me and I hope they will help you too.

A kindergarten teacher had decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates. So the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes, some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. 

What happened next shocked me and made me smile on the brilliant lesson the teacher taught her students!

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. 

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” 

“It was great, Dad.” 

And what he said next shocked his Dad and will definitely shock you as it did for me. I couldn’t stop smiling after hearing it!

Dr. Harry here - I just heard a wild story about an ex-Under Secretary of Defense who gave a showstopping speech at this massive conferenc.

It was obvious there was more beneath those coffee grounds than we realized—you are not going to want to miss this story!

"Memento Mori" is a Latin phrase that simply translates to "remember that you will die." This concept championed by Stoics such as Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, reminds me daily to live a life of purpose and intent.

While at first glance, you may think that meditating on your mortality may be depressing, but I have a different perspective. It reminds me that time is a gift and should never be squandered on trivial things. It's a personal reminder to live a life of virtue and intent. In doing so, I am creating my lasting legacy.

So how do you want to be remembered?

Let's get started...

Self-sabotage can interfere with your best intentions and best-laid plans. Self-sabotage can be your own worst enemy. It hinders your well-being, and frankly, results in physician burnout. 

There are innumerable ways we sabotage ourselves. This can include overeating due to stress or medicating ourselves with drugs or alcohol. These actions fail to address problems at home or at work. Unfortunately, it gets in the way from true growth. 

But why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we get in our own way toward attaining a successful and productive personal and professional life?
