About this episode

When I lived as a Monk we were recommended to reflect every 2-4 weeks. Usually we wait for new years resolution, but for me my birthday has always been a time for deep reflection.

It’s important to reflect on the lessons from the past because they are the only thing you can truly take with you to the future.

Life will teach you the same lessons over and over if you fail to listen. So much more than I could’ve ever imagined has happened this year, and I want to share the lessons with you. Get ready!
