Episode notes
Humility Opens You To Objective Values
- Humility lets you hear a transcendent voice that corrects ego-driven choices and opens you to objective truth, beauty, and goodness.
- St. Thomas Aquinas summed this up: humility is truth because it connects you to realities beyond yourself.
Stability Anchors A Creative Life
- Stability resists cultural restless shifting by rooting life in unchanging values like faithfulness, family, and love.
- With stability as your foundation, you can freely explore and create without losing moral bearings.
Find Work You Love And Stick With It
- Find work you love and commit to doing it consistently, whether you feel motivated or not.
- Regular, faithful work benefits others, improves your happiness, and glorifies God.
