Way of the Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods

The Body Sovereign Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods The Body Sovereign "Over himself and over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign." – John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty" There is perhaps no more basic proposition that as an individual, you own your own life. Yet the basis of most political theory over the last several millennia has actually argued against this notion. The concepts of freedom and the associated idea of sovereignty over one's own body and mind are relatively new political concepts. The greatest manifestation of this idea is only about 240 years old, and it dates back to the early days of America. Let's hope that as the decades pass, this basic supposition remains at the heart of this nation's political milieu.

Temporary Means Permanent in Government Speak "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." –Milton Friedman The brilliant economist and free-market advocate Milton Friedman reminds us that however temporary a government program sets out to be, the forces that come to rely on that program for their sustenance are so strong that they make virtually any temporary program permanent. Keep this in mind whenever you hear a politician call for temporary measures to "fix" the economy.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods On Working Through It "I'm done crying. Now I'm just working through it." --Kathy "Moon Owl" Quinn, proprietor, Moon Owl Nocturnal Eats The recent civil unrest and the aggregate infringement on our rights by both government and individuals has had a lot of adverse consequences. That's especially true for businesses hit by looters, especially businesses such as retail and restaurants that were just beginning to reopen after months of coronavirus lockdown. Yet as my friend, entrepreneur and chef extraordinaire Kathy Quinn of Moon Owl Nocturnal Eats bravely remarked, the time is done for crying. Now, you just have to work through it. It's that approach to life that's made her a success, and it's an approach that we'd all be well advised to adopt in the face of personal and societal adversity.

Welcome to today's Audio Essay "Memorial Day Gratitude" from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Memorial Day Gratitude The unofficial beginning of summer is almost here, and that, of course, is Memorial Day weekend. And while this Memorial Day weekend will be different than any we've ever had, the traditions of backyard barbecues, trips to the beach and even road trips are still going to take place—even if they involve masks, gloves and six-feet between us. The reason why is because we're Americans, and it's just not in our nature to shelter humbly in place because we've been told we have to. Yes, we've all pretty much done that over the past two months, but given the holiday weekend and great weather in much of the country, you can bet we'll still do as much of the "normal" things we've always done to celebrate this unofficial commencement of summer. Of course, first and foremost we must remember the reason for this holiday weekend, and that is it's our opportunity to honor and remember the men and women who paid the ultimate price in defense of a grateful nation. I say grateful not lightly, because it is gratitude for those who have died to defend America, her people, and her values that we all must pause and soak in this weekend. Indeed, it's this sense of gratitude that's motivated many Americans, me included, to have chosen to serve in the military. You see, it's because of people willing to fight to the death to defend us all that we are able to have backyard barbecues, take walks on the beach, and pretty much live with a sense of safety and security from bellicose threats. And now, even as the biggest threat to the world comes from a viral RNA strand, Americans on the frontlines of our healthcare war are confronting this scourge with as much valor and fortitude as our military heroes. That's why this Memorial Day, I will also be raising a glass to toast the fallen combatants, and the victims, who have lost their lives fighting this microscopic war. So, this Memorial Day weekend, please take pause to honor a fallen soldier, sailor, airman, Marine or healthcare worker who lost their lives in defense of us all. Even better, if you personally know family members or close friends working to protect us all, take a little bit of your free time to call and thank them, too. They are likely hurting even more during this pandemic, so do what you can to ease their pain. It will make them feel better, and it will definitely make you feel better.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods This insight was inspired by a verse from the rock band Tool and their song - Right in Two. "Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here" –Tool, "Right in Two" There's nothing that focuses the mind like a global pandemic, and it is incumbent upon us all to do so for our own sake and for the sake of our fellow man. So, if you haven't done so already, open your mind to this situation and think of ways to get through this tough time — and don't squander your ability to think things through.

Conrad's Work Wisdom Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods This insight was inspired by a quote from Polish-British writer and novelist – Joseph Conrad "A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing." – Joseph Conrad The country needs to get back to work. Not only because our economy needs to restart so that out-of-work Americans can earn a living again, but also because work, i.e. productive achievement, is a critical need for the human psyche. So, the sooner we can all get back to work, the sooner our national psyche can heal. Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods This insight was inspired by a quote from American novelist – George R. R. Martin "... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." --George R.R. Martin, "A Game of Thrones" Keeping one's mental edge during this global pandemic isn't the easiest of tasks. I know that at times, I've fallen victim to the universal sadness, angst and fear humanity is currently experiencing. Yet if we want to prevail, and if we want to help our fellow man thrive, then it's incumbent upon us all to do what we can to keep our minds and our spirits fresh and honed with a sharp edge. And as Martin tells us, the best way to keep our mental edge is with the whetstone of books. Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods The Challenge to Change This insight was inspired by a quote from Holocaust Survivor – Viktor E. Frankl

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

We all know that the coronavirus has prompted global change, both economically and in the way we combat the virus. Yet as the eminent psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor and author of the extremely influential "Man's Search for Meaning" tells us, real change takes place by changing ourselves. So, if you want to prevail during these times of social, economic and market stress, change your mindset and cultivate your strongest self. Once you do that, you can work on changing the rest of the world. Jim Woods April 22nd, 2020
