Episode notes

We don't do things for recognition, but because they are kind and beneficial. Some of us write them down in our mental notebook saying something along the lines of 'I've done a good kind thing for John' We just sort of do it because we know in the moment of our doing it, that it is the appropriate thing to do. I think if we're honest with ourselves, most of us are a combination of the latter two examples from Marcus.

Do you take credit for your deeds? Do you note them down in a sort of "Virtue ledger"? I think most of us do from time to time. In today's meditation, Marcus encourages himself (and us) to be more like a grape vine. Which will only make sense if you listen.
