Defining Your Life Principles | Rules Of Thumb To Live By
About this episode
A solo episode this week because Juan's life principle is to go travelling Tasmania. Also just realised that the thumbnail is slightly clickbaity as I'm not going to fight for any of these. Apologies but I'm too lazy to change it, plus I like the pink and white colours.
In Episode #336 of 'Musings' I discuss: why these differ from ethical principles, a get out of jail-free caveat, why change is frustrating and maddening, how the world will break you if you're not careful, why in the future money will be connected directly to consciousness and why you need to consume things carefully!
Vielen dank to Borsengelaber, Petar The Chapter Art Lover and McIntosh, Vergelt’s Gott!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
