Insight into understanding the mindset of the the ‘greatest’ generation and the baggage passed onto their kids (boomers). Applicable to subsequent generations as well. I guess some things don’t change. Worth a listen. #dailystoic #selfawareness

Just listened to an uplifting & thought provoking interview with David von Drehle on the #DailyStoic podcast. He discusses his new book: "The Book of Charlie: Wisdom from the Remarkable American Life of a 109 Year Old Man" A relevant message for people of all ages. Will be sure to add to my reading list.

You become what you give your attention to …
If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will!

It's not February 16th but this #DailyStoic is hitting home for me today...

“..the more you say no to the things that don’t matter, the more you can say yes to the things that do. This will let you live and enjoy your life—the life that you want”

What you do.
