Thanks Randy! Happy I got this essay over the line. Yeah good catch - interesting to see the overlap between stoicism and other (seemingly unrelated) fields. Some core truths remain universal.
"There are many roads to Rome and many ways of being." this rings so loud and true. Loved reading your self-reflective journey. I've still got so much to learn.
John, I’m on vacation at the coast with my kids. I’m so honored to be given a slot in Live and Let Live this week. I will receive it wholeheartedly 🙏🙏 even though my instinct is to feel undeserving (still part of my life’s work).
This is lovely and profound at the same time: “My wish is that we all find our thing. Our calling. Our antidote to restlessness.”
My pleasure James. I was really moved by your essay and thought it would be great to spread the message a little wider. Enjoy the time off with your family! And thanks for the kind words.
'having something I can point to as ‘my own’ is exactly what I needed to get out of the way of others' boom, what a line. Really love your self-reflective essay and how you broke it down John.
Thanks Rik. I couldn't have written this without your encouragement and support. I had a faint idea, but didn't believe it was good enough. Thanks for telling me otherwise.
Thanks for the kind words John. Hope you survived the Munich Beer Test!
Any time, Gareth. Yeah just about! Got some good writing material now.
Great edition, John. You have a ton of valid points in here. And I LOVE the Tolle quote at the beginning. Very stoic.

Thanks Becky. Happy it resonated! Haha don't we all. Writing feels a great tool to help us figure out things.

Our antidote to restlessness.

Beautiful.
