On todays episode I talk about the importance of action in spite of your mood or motivation. I love this quote by Rich Roll: “Mood follows action. If you want to change your mindset, you have to change your behavior.”

You can stay under the covers and warm blankets of life or you can get up and serve your duty as a human being today. Lets us choose to be people of action. Email me at [email protected] for any thoughts or questions regarding this episode.

On todays episode I talk about Magic Eye Posters and how they are like philosophy. (Is your curiosity spiking?) Seneca says that “philosophy will wake us and shake us out of that heavy sleep” I have discovered for myself that the proof of your philosophy or belief is truly found in the sustained behavior and actions of your life. Allow this episode to challenge you and cause you to look more inwardly than ever before. Email me at [email protected] for questions or comments about the show.

On this weeks episode I talk about the importance of digesting new beliefs or theories before we go on and tell everyone about them. The stoic philosopher Epictetus says it like this: “Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.” The next time you want to tell everyone about some new workout plan, diet, or book you’ve just read, practice digesting it first and then proving the belief by your behavior and reasoned choices.

In this episode I talk about how you are a master sculptor and the piece that you are working on that matters the most is yourself. As Epictetus said, “First tell yourself what kind of person you want to be, then do what you have to do.” If you want to be a soccer player you’re not going to go practice tennis…right? Continue with the work that matters to you the most and sculpt the master piece you desire to create. Email me at [email protected] for any thoughts or comments.

On todays episode I talk about how time is time and in the words of Jerry Seinfeld “there is no such thing as quality time” It is easy to fall into the trap of defining quality time as the most significant but even the mundane and garbage time is good and significant time. How are we to embrace all the time you and I are given? Take a listen to the episode and learn with me what it means to embrace all time as quality time.

On todays episode we talk about the importance of knowing where you are going. There is an ancient proverb that sates, “the prudent man looketh well to his going” Are you looking well to where you are going in life? In your job? At home? In your relationships? Seneca says it best, “a life without design is erratic.” This episode is insanely challenging to me because there are times that I feel as if I am incredibly disciplined and scheduled but then I look at my routines and realize I am not there yet.

On todays episode I talk about the importance of “marching on” from things outside of our control. Things like petty drama, nonsensical conversations and unhealthy thought patterns. Epictetus talks about this as the “chief task in life”. How are we to determine what is and is not in our control? This is the theme I am attempting to commit to and I invite you to as well. Lets learn to “march on” together.

Welcome to today's powerful episode, where I uncover the concept of ownership and our role in controlling the narrative of hurtful comments. I explore the profound notion that we possess the power to determine how much fuel we add to those hurtful fires.

Drawing inspiration from Epictetus, I share a thought-provoking quote that challenges us to ask a difficult question: "Does getting upset from the hurt really matter?"

In this thought-provoking and challenging episode, we confront the impact of hurtful comments on our lives and recognize the control we have over our emotional responses. By looking inwardly, we begin the journey of outward growth and empowerment.

As you listen to this episode, I hope it compels you to reflect on your own experiences and consider the power you hold in shaping the narrative of hurtful comments.

Thank you for joining me in this introspective exploration. May this episode inspire you to embrace your strength, find inner peace, and continue to grow outwardly. Stay tuned for more episodes that foster self-discovery and empowerment on our journey to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
