Episode 2463:

When pain and betrayal threaten to consume you, there remains something untouchable within your dignity, self-respect, and power of choice. Keith Wilson explores the ancient concept of prohairesis, the inner resilience that allows us to rise above hardship, take responsibility for what we can control, and refuse to be defined by our suffering. No matter how much has been lost, this strength is always within reach, ready to be reclaimed.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/hello-love/what-cant-be-hurt-ec65a2b9656a

Quotes to ponder:

"The idea behind the concept is that, while you have no control of what others do to you, or what fate does to you; you have control over what you do with it."

"You exercise prohairesis by taking responsibility, not of everything, but only of the things you are responsible for: yourself and what you do."

"You may have misplaced it, or never knew it existed; you may have given it away; but you can always get more prohairesis."

Shawna Scafe reflects on the often-overwhelming "Pinterest Mom" phenomenon, urging readers to appreciate the passion behind their efforts rather than succumbing to feelings of inadequacy or judgment.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://simpleonpurpose.ca/dont-hate-on-the-pinterest-mom/

Quotes to ponder:

"Perfect does not make us loveable, being loving makes us loveable and where there is love there is passion."

"There are so many chances to fall into this passionless place in motherhood. But what do these Pinterest moms do? They make a handmade game for their kids, put a little vavoom in their wardrobe, hunt for furniture to restore, make meal planning boards."

"Look for passions in your own daily life. Maybe it is in how you peel an orange, the way you braid your girl’s hair, how you stake your beanpoles, collecting stamps, or memorizing the lyrics to ‘I’ve Been Everywhere.’"
