In this last episode of Season 2, I look at “The Six Mistakes of Man”.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) was a Roman statesman and scholar whose work was admired by ancient scholars and is also admired by modern scholars today. It appears we have wrestled with these six mistakes for thousands of years.

Here they are:

1)The illusion that personal gain is made up of crushing others.
2)The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
3)Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
4)Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
5)Neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.
6)Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

If you were looking for a discussion about how to do an end of year review let me invite you to check out episode 23 from Season 1, “How to Do an End of Year Review”. Below is a link to that episode.

The holiday season has begun - it’s fast paced, chaotic, overwhelming and sometimes the demands feel oppressive. Whether it is the holiday season or our current political climate being patient seems to be increasingly more difficult.

Patience is a skill it can be developed. In this episode I talk about how to develop patience. Here are four reasons why you should develop your patience.

1)Your commitment is clear
2)Great things take time.
3)The world does not revolve around you.
4)You make better decisions.

At the end of the episode, I give you five simple steps to help you develop your patience.

1)Choose the longer line.
2)Wait a week between episodes.
3)Skip the fastest delivery option.
4)Teach someone a new game.
5)Make a meal from scratch.

Be Patient. Hold on. You can succeed, despite the limits!

I release the podcast on the last Friday of each month, which means this episode went public on Halloween. Since so much of the season seems to be centered on scary stories and creepy decorations in the neighborhoods it seemed like a good time to talk about fear.

Fear seems to be everywhere these days and it is an interesting paradox. Fear often keeps is from trying the very things we need to do to succeed which in turn guarantees our fears become reality.

However, we can reframe how we view the things that scare us and train our minds and bodies to react differently.

Early in the episode I talk about the 2013 movie, After Earth” and share a quote from the character played by Will Smith where he says fear is a choice. Here is a link to a YouTube clip with the scene.
