What's Your Superpower? (#200, 8 Apr. 2024)

I am 49 years old and just learned about the Pentecost and its relationship to the Holy Spirit! I also cover Romans 8:22-27.

Dads, I just solved your next three weekends as to what to watch with your family on Amazon. The Divergent series! It's a Hunger Games like bowl of awesomeness and substance. (I think it is even better). I explain why and also mediate a little bit on the author Veronica Roth. She wrote this novel in a creative writing class at Northwestern her senior year. The movie rights were immediately purchased. I compare her as a shooting star with Steven Pressfield, the late bloomer.

Deep Work is an awesome book, almost as good as Atomic Habits. I discuss what it is, how to apply it and how I have used this book to change my creative habits.

You and I will cover Romans 5:3-5, glory in suffering, River Runs through it, and happiness in the deep-down.

In this episode, I cover Romans 12:11, Weston Noble, a tiny moment of synchronicity, and what I learned from mom.

I return to Stutz and his three principles of life. Here's the book.

In this episode, you and I will explore the conditions under which stress will make you or break you. Stress is something that I have struggled, but now I embrace it as a catalyst to being the best version of myself.

Whoa two wonderful topics from Stoicism: memento mori and carpe diem. In this episode, I explore their meaning, cover Dead Poets Society, and what you can learn from my mom.

In episode, I discuss how a morning ritual can enhance the best version of you. I define it, share my own morning ritual, identify the perils of too much ritual, explain how to optimize your morning ritual and share one tweak that I would like to add to my evening ritual. I believe a morning ritual is not just one of the keys to happiness, it is the key to unlock the best version of you!

A Stoic meditation on the power of today...
