Way of the Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, Mark Twain. "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." –Mark Twain Do you want to succeed in life? Do you want to conquer your obstacles? Do you want to achieve your dreams? If you're hearing this, I'd venture to say the answer is yes. However, before you can declare yourself a victor, you have to actually get started. In fact, one of the biggest obstacles to success in life is to put off getting started on what you really want. Don't do that any longer. Take Twain's words to heart — and go for it!

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by scientist, author, futurist, and professional speaker, David Brin. "It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power." –David Brin The great science fiction novelist is known for producing some great reads ("The Postman," "The Uplift War," "Infinity's Shore"), but here he warns us about a problem that's anything but fiction. You see, the nature of power (and specifically political power) tends to attract a certain type of corruptible person. Just beware of that view the next time you assess a proposed government policy, or the next time you put your faith in any politician. Jim Woods June 2, 2021.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by Greek mathematician, physicist, inventor, engineer and astronomer, Archimedes. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." –Archimedes The great thinker and scientist of the classical antiquity period was a man of immense talent and knowledge. Here, he gives us some wisdom about what we can accomplish if we are motivated, and if we choose the right tools. This lesson is not just for investing, but for any pursuit in life. You see, motivation, plus the proper tools, equals success. Yet one absent the other is bound to result in mediocrity, at best, and failure at worst. Jim Woods May 26, 2021.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by Irish poet and playwright, Oscar Wilde. "Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes." –Oscar Wilde If you've reached adulthood, then I don't have to tell you that the more experienced you are, the more mistakes you've likely made. Of course, making the same mistakes over and over again doesn't really equate to experience. In order to cultivate experience, you need to learn from your mistakes and not let yourself repeat the errors of the past.

Up next on Way of the Renaissance Man… putting one fake foot in front of the other, with a truly inspiring American hero. Welcome to today's show from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods. Some men, when faced with overwhelming, life-shattering adversity, choose to embrace the circumstance. And in doing so, they live a life of epic inspiration. In this episode, Jim speaks with just such a man, former Army soldier and retired police officer, Steve Martin. Steve is an Afghanistan war veteran whose battlefield injuries cost him both of his legs. Yet rather than allow that to stop him, Steve chose to overcome his personal battles, conquer his inner demons, and live a life that we all can aspire to. From overcoming pain medications and becoming one of the first double-amputee field police officers in the country, to becoming an athlete whose participation in high-profile competitions has elevated awareness for life after amputation, Steve is a man whose mindset we all can learn from. If you want to be inspired by a real-life hero and learn about his new adventure with Friends of Freedom USA, then Jim's conversation with Steve Martin is just what you've been looking for. The show Jim references with David Haddad can be found here titled, "A Conversation with the Bard of Fine Cigars and Prohibition-era Spirits." To find out more about Steve's Ride and how you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans and first responders transitioning into civilian life, visit FriendsOfFreedomUSA.org For more great resources and inspiration visit WayOfTheRenaissanceMan.com WayOfTheRenaissanceMan.com/store for Way of the Renaissance Man Fans is open.

Beverage Humor Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American journalist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English, H. L. Mencken. "24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not." — H.L. Mencken He was one of the greatest journalists, essayists and writers ever, but H.L. Mencken also knew he had to enjoy life with the assistance of the finest libations. He further knew how to deliver a humorous line, which he does brilliantly in the quote here. I think it's important to remember that life can get very serious sometimes, and that's why it's important to unplug and enjoy when you can.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American poet, essayist, and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect." –Ralph Waldo Emerson Have you ever heard someone describe a successful person as just "lucky?" Of course, we all have. While I am not saying there is no such thing as luck, most of the time success is achieved through hard work. In other words, success is a matter of cause and effect, not simply luck. Keep this reality in mind the next time you pine for more success, or the next time you see someone who has achieved anything worthwhile.

Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American businessman and "Think and Grow Rich," self-help classic author, Napoleon Hill. How many times have you heard someone, possibly even you, say that they are waiting for the right time to do what they really would rather be doing? I hear that all the time and, whenever I do, it actually makes me sad. The fact is there never is a perfect time to do something. You can always find reasons to delay what you desire. I say don't let yourself do this. If you want something, go for it. The time will never be just right, so act in your own interest and make whatever dream you have a reality. It's really as simple as that.

Model T Wisdom Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American industrialist, automobile manufacturer, philanthropist, and developer of the assembly line technique, Henry Ford. "You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do." –Henry Ford The business genius responsible for creating the automotive industry in the United States knew that it's not enough to claim you are going to do something. To have a real reputation, you have to actually create, perform and deliver. Remember this the next time you hear a claim from someone about what they plan to do for you.

Today's insight was inspired by author, publisher, diplomat, and colonial America's very own Renaissance Man, Benjamin Franklin..

Here, the political theorist, scientist, inventor and statesman, reminds us all that it's okay to let passion guide your decisions, but you also must apply reason and logic if you want those passions to be an effective guide.
