221 - Accept Life

ERICK CLOWARD
About this episode
How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life. 
— Marcus Aurelius

How often do you complain about the hard things in your life? How often do you find yourself disappointed that things don't turn out the way you think they should?
