Summary
This unknown quote is so good: “It's okay to be a glow stick. Sometimes we need to break before we shine.”
The Four Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.
Listener emails from Taylor (about encouragement) and Laney (sharing book recommendations!)
A celebrity once ate potatoes for two weeks straight as they opened up about the pressures society puts on bodies, so this got Amy & Kat talking about all the different ways to eat potatoes, and what their last meals would be before they die??
Speaking of dying…Alexander the Great’s three dying wishes are inspiring:
Only the very best doctors should carry my coffin: To show that even the best doctors are powerless to cure in front of death.
Scatter my wealth on the road to the graveyard: So everybody can see that riches gotten on earth, stay on earth.
Leave my hand hanging in the wind for everyone to see: To show we are born empty-handed and we leave empty-handed.
