Description
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!

As we come upon this season of Halloween - where we look for things that might scare us in a fun and transient way - we will cozy up with the made up things that instill a fear within us - a fear that we battle with a little too often — perhaps needlessly fighting these fears. We will take excerpts from a Stoic philosopher - Seneca - who wrote many philosophical pieces - many in the form of letters. This letter is on “Groundless Fears” written to Lucilius: 🎃 “There are more things...
