The ultimate power freedom in life is to have enough. We put ourselves in a position of vulnerability and dependency because we want so much. If you don't regard what you have as enough, you will never be happy even if you rule the entire world right? Enough is never enough. No topic is off limits on kiki Palmer's daily stoic podcast.
We look back on things we clearly messed up. We were too preoccupied. We were too harsh. We were wrong. We didn’t know.
And because we messed up, we feel guilty. We regret what could have been. We’re mad at ourselves. We wallow in pity or shame.
Dr. Edith Eger, the Holocaust survivor, cut through all this with her graceful bluntness on the Daily Stoic podcast recently (she’s been on twice, both episodes are must listens). “I’ll give you a sentence,” she said. “If I knew then, what I know now, I would have done things differently.”
