  • The Ox and The Rat - E7 - The Fisherman & The Little Fish

    A small gain is worth more than a large promise. What do you think? A good idea when trying to get to a large goal. "I promise I will get in shape next month." Making small gains, eating a little less junk food, or going for walks or pushing it a little further every time... are the little things that can get you toward that big goal. Are we right, or nah?

  • The Ox and The Rat - E6 - Belling the Cat

    In this episode, we will be discussing "Belling the Cat." We will talk about the #fable and #discuss the #moral, "It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite a different matter to do it."  Do we need to take more action on our thoughts and beliefs, or is it enough just to say them?  We had a call to action this episode, and I hope you join. We would like you to take action on something you have been putting off and share that something if you can in our comments below. Tell us what you are going to do and let us know if you completed your goals or began your journey.  As always, thanks for listening. You can join our IG at theoxandtherat and see the morals from the show and some cool digital artworks that go with them.

  • The Ox and The Rat - E5 - The Fox and The Grapes

    In this episode, we will be looking at #Aesop's #fable "The Fox and The Grapes." What do you think about the #moral? Should we accept that what we cannot reach should be looked at as something that is not necessary or should we keep unattainable goals as inspiration? Which will lead to the most dissatisfaction and negativity in the end?   Thanks for listening, make sure to check out our IG: theoxandtherat for weekly morals and more discussion, as well as, some cool artwork related to the fables.
