‘Whatever your principles, whatever beliefs, whatever vision, know them well - add your heart and your mind to the search for truth, and you will never be far from the legacy of any great people or any great effort that came before you.’ Those are the words of my friend and the guest on the podcast this week. Joe Palmer is a teacher of history, and he does what many people say that we all should do:  he learns from the past.  It has been said time and again, that  those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. We are augmenting that for today's dialogue to say:  those who want wisdom, learn from what has taken place. When we apply stories from the past to our todays, and let them guide our tomorrows, we are bound to live greater lives of depth and understanding. We begin with a story from the American Revolution.  From that story we learn a truth of life that ‘we achieve great things when our backs are against a river.’  Listen for that insight as it will lead into a great discussion of the power of ‘Why’ in our lives.  So we are entitling this: ‘Put your back against the river and fight -  when Why is all you have.’ As always, the intention is that this will inspire, educate, and transform your life, and bring you into realization of those great ideas of Wonder, Wisdom, and the Wild of life that are eternal.
