In today's episode I take you through a simple process for finding a deeper sense of gratitude in the small details of your day. There is so much difficulty and stress in the world that it is very easy to only see the potential darkness instead of the constant radiation of points of light and goodness that surround you.

One of the risks of modern life is the belief that the path to our happiness and success are hidden in some future time frame. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking 'one day' things will work out and everything will come together for us. When we live with too much of a future orientation we can end up overlooking the importance of bringing our best to the work that is right in front of us. Thankfully, this is not a new problem. Many of the greatest men and women in history have helped us understand the crucial relationship between what we do today and how that shapes tomorrow. In today's episode I share another powerful insight from Emperor Marcus Aurelius who reminds us that it's crucial to do whatever is in front of us to the best of our ability.

In a world obsessed with blame and being a victim, complaining has been elevated to a form of civic religion. Misery loves company and complaining about your life will always see you quickly surrounded by plenty of low energy people ready to reinforce your limited and usually inaccurate perception of reality. In today's episode I want to encourage you to make sure that complaining is no longer a part of your daily reality. Complaining changes nothing and will leave you feeling worse. It's got to go.

Never in human history has it been easier to become distracted from doing the deep work we need to do or from investing in the relationships that matter the most. In today's episode I start with another great insight from Marcus Aurelius about the need to become ruthless with the distractions in our lives.

The result of the last few years of government policies has powerfully impacted many lives.
