Transcribe →You’re Never Too Old To Improve (or to figure it out)
4w ago00:41:11Tap to summarize  There comes a point in life when too many people decide improvement is behind them. But growth, wisdom, curiosity, and meaningful change are still available — no matter your age. In this episode of Leaning Toward Wisdom, I explore why staying teachable, engaged, and willing to improve may be one of the greatest advantages of growing older.

Transcribe →Soft Skills, Hard Lessons
Apr 2000:43:58Tap to summarize  People. They’re the problem. 😉 Not all people, but most people. Then there’s ME. Maybe the biggest problem of all. Forever, my wife has urged me to lower my expectations, accusing me of expecting too much. Most often, the context is somebody’s behavior or performance. I’ll remark, “I think he could have done better.” To which she’ll reply, “I’m not sure he could have.” She’s likely right. I expect too much because I always believe people, including me, can do better. It sounds like I’m being critical (which is sometimes true), but in my head, it’s not so much that. It’s more my innate belief that improvement and growth are always possible. The deeper issue for me is the belief that everybody deserves the opportunity to get better. To be better! But I could be wrong. Maybe most people are as good as they’ll ever be. Relationships are hard. Worth it, but difficult. Okay, some are worth it. Others? Not so much. We get to decide.

Transcribe →The Power of Deprivation
Feb 1300:36:52Tap to summarize  Sacrifice. Self-control. Self-discipline. Temperance. Repentance. They’re all part of a life devoted to deprivation – a life devoted to not serving self, but a life devoted to improving self.
