Show Notes

What story are you telling yourself?

  • "Bad stuff is because of me; good stuff is because of everyone else"
  • Are you the victim the hero?


Your suffering isn't caused by what happens; it's caused by how you interpret what happens, and how you feel about that interpretation.

  • Toddler tantrum? Self regulate.

  • "The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now." - Old Proverb
