Oprah's Super Soul Conversations

I've come to realize that I am a bit of a podcast snob.
I'm very happy with my line up and have come to notice that I don't have the patience for a podcast that doesn't capture my attention in the first hour... however (!) I have added a new addition to my weekly lineup and I couldn't be happier. Oprah's Super Soul Conversations podcast is exactly the breath of fresh air that I need in my life right now.

If you're looking for something enlightening, inspiring to listen to, give this podcast a try. I started with "Pastor A.R. Bernard: Four Things Women Want from a Man."

Inspiration.

 

What's in a word?

 

anything that rouses you to feel

to move,

stimulates you to create,

seek more,

aim higher,

to be greater,

to elevate

 

it awakens something in you

a desire to be present

to be here

 

a breath of fresh air

when you didn't even know you had stopped breathing

 

 

Inspire the Tribe.

a moment of inspiration.

"If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud."

simple: If it harms the collective, you speak up until it no longer does.

"dogs bark at what they cannot understand."

heraclitus

People are going to criticize you. They are going to resist or resent what you try to do. You’re going to face obstacles and a lot of those obstacles will be other human beings. Heraclitus is explaining why. People don’t like change. They don’t like to be confused. It’s also a fact that doing new things means forcing change and confusion on other people. So, if you’re looking for an explanation for all the barking you’re hearing, there it is. Let it go, keep working, do your job.

"some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun."

seneca

After beginning with Seneca, let’s end with him. Inertia is a powerful force. The status quo–even if self-created–is comforting. So people find themselves on certain paths in life and cannot conceive of changing them, even if such a change would result in more personal happiness. We think that fickleness is a negative trait, but if it pushes you to be better and find and explore new, better things, it certainly isn’t. It’s a constant reminder: Why am I still doing this? Is it for the right reasons? Or is it just because it’s been that way for a while?

The Deep End

Let life break your heart

until your heart becomes

unbreakable.

Try. Fail. Risk.

Jump off the deep end.

 

There are no conditions to love.

And no end to it's depths.
