Marcus Aurelius begins the day by acknowledging that he will encounter difficult people—those who are "busybody, ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial." He frames this not as a cause for anger or frustration but ...

I was not going to record today, but I read something that I really wanted to get across to all of you. It's about resolutions.

Book 1 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a reflection on gratitude and the virtues of those who influenced the emperor. In this book, Marcus credits his mentors, family members, and other figures for shaping his character ...

It's been a crazy year folks! But I am still here alive and kickin'!! I have got a lot of changes in the works for you this year with Grey and Grounded. Journey with me as I relate one of my favorite books Meditations by Marc...

There’s something profoundly serene about standing on the lush greens of a golf course, feeling the breeze gently rustling through the trees, and hearing the satisfying click of a well-struck ball, not mine but with those pla...

Expect more of yourself, in order to be tolerate of others. In everyday dealings with others, your values should be your guide. #mindfulness #personalgrowth #greyngrounded #mesagetomysons #alwayslearning

The saying "time heals all wounds" may or may not be true, but time does give us a chance to look at a particular situation in a diffferent "light" as we grow we can then look at it as a different person, and in that, we can ...

The worse thing you can do is to stoop down to the level of those who wish you ill will, and harm. Eagles only fly down when they have to take out their prey. #greyngrounded #amorfati #mesagetomysons #mindfulness #personalgro...

Being rich is not in needing alot of money, or fine clothes, big houses and fancy cars, it is not having the need for all of that and still be content with what you already have. #greyngrounded #amorfati #mindfulness #mesaget...

Remembrer, memento mori

What stands in the way becomes the way. I've always found the best way to deal with tough times is to be just as tough. Do not shrink in the face of adversity, or turn a blind eye. or a deaf ear. We all have problems, we will...

I like the old adage, of hate the sin but still love the sinner. We should try to be tolerant of others, with the views, their ideas, their personalities. We can let them into our lives, but within limits. We should be tough ...

It's through the books that we read, where we can really talk to people who are no longer with us. Though they may be gone, but in the pages of a book, those persons we are reading about are alive and well, and their memory l...

The Stoics say Amor Fati, love your fate. Whatever will happen has already been planned already. How you respond to that action is all you can control.

We should always be asking ourselves as to what we are doing whether it be at the moment, with a task, with our lives, "is this necessary?" How much time is spent on things that are not necessary, that wastes our time, and ta...

In everything we do we must make beautiful choices. The choices we make not only define what we do, but who we are at that moment and for the future.

Decide to do one thing everyday, that is beneficial.

Marcus Aurelius' quote in Meditations: "The World is nothing but change. Our life is only perception." We are always changing, growing, learning. Are we the same person after that? Are we a brand new person, or are we the sam...

I am always careful with this rule, because people may take it the wrong way. But treating successes and failures the same way is important to understand. Never to high, never too low. Be grateful, happy, but understand that ...

We all get sucked down the rabbit hole of imagined troubles causing anxiety, and depression. We need to be mindful of this.

Everyday can be a struggle to get anxious about everything, finance, jobs, family, health. But these things are not in our control. What is? Our reaction to these events. This is what we can control.

I feel it is really important to start the day off right, no matter how that is. We need to Own The Morning, in order to Win and Conquer the day.
