I am not as angry as I used to be

SEGA!!!

On my way to work I listen to about 12 episodes a week. They are reminders for me to keep my cool and only worry about that which is in my control… which isn’t very much! I also like the Stoic philosophy of self care through being the kind of person I want to be. I waste less time, get more goals accomplished, but I’m not as annoyed by things or as angry as I used to be.
Thank you

Your pod cast is presented in a brief personal way, easy to appreciate in a short time span and very helpful to those searching for a more meaningful way to live. I’ve become a big believer of the importance of looking inward for answers, rather than outward to the maelstrom around our lives. I’m far from my goal, but am hopeful to continue to learn. Your podcast is now a daily event for me. I wish you success and thank you for your work.
