This will be our second-last daily email before I leave to focus on the final phase of my solo retreat. Details in the PS below.
I’ve got one story and one video for you today.
They might seem unrelated, on the surface.
But look closer, and you’ll see that they share a deeper lesson.
First, the story…

***
“The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper.
He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king, you would not have to live on lentils.”
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils, and you will not have to cultivate the king.”

And now, for the video:
How To Choose A Job & Career In Your 20s
(which doubles as a lesson in “how to make any big life decision in your 20s”)
Can you spot the deeper, connected lesson?
Hit me back if you see it…

P.S. Quick reminder:
Tomorrow will be our final daily email until somewhere around the end of the month, as I’ll be unplugging to focus on the final phase of my solo retreat.
And then, we come back swinging 🙂
In the meantime, we’ll keep dropping clips on YouTube while I’m away.
