“No man is free who is not master of himself.” – Epictetus, Discourses 2.10 “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” – Nelson Mandela “For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an […]
It’s that time of year when New Year’s resolutions are faltering and we wonder why we even tried! I found a sliver of hope in a Tony Robbins video. He gave me permission to let go of my goals without giving up. That got my interest! Tony made a good point: Resolutions, or goals, usually […]
