Summary: Nothing in this world lasts. Jobs don't last, buildings crumble through the marching of time, fashion trends change, and motivation comes and goes. One of the more important lessons I've been learning over the past year that many long dead philosophers already discovered is that life is all about practice and maintenance. Today's episode is about that act of practice. The reason for this podcast, a quote by zig ziglar. Why its important to sweat more so you will bleed less My favorite story from the Hagakure Why we need principles The idea of maintenance Things I maintain in my own life Pitfalls to avoid The most important thing to maintain in your own life QUOTES “People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.” - Zig Ziglar "Be a boxer, not a gladiator, in the way you act on your principles. The gladiator takes up his sword only to put it down again, but the boxer is never without his fist and has only to clench it." - The Emperor's Handbook, Page 139 RESOURCES Things I reference: The Emperor’s Handbook by Marcus Aurelius The Art of Living by Epictetus Intro music by Slayerment
