“I appreciate receiving these PhilosophersNotes filled with deep and powerful wisdom so very much. As a busy mother and lawyer, I never seem to have enough time in the day to satisfy my thirst for new wisdom and growth. So I particularly love giving your Note a quick read as part of my morning routine, and then contemplating the "Big Ideas" of the day (and how I can more deeply incorporate into my own life) while making breakfast for my son, driving to the office, riding in the elevator, etc. - whenever I have a quiet moment. You've made it so easy to do, and I can honestly say that this practice helps me stay centered and intentional throughout my day. Thank you so much for this precious gift! ”
“You sending me that link [to PhilosophersNotes] is one of the greatest things that's happened to me. I've been telling everyone about it. It's become my crystal meth. I look forward to going running every day b/c I know I'll hear a new note. It's literally changing my life.”
"I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours and God’s. Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our business. When I think, “You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself,” I am in your business. When I’m worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or when I will die, I am in God’s business. If I am mentally in your business or in God’s business, the effect is separation." ~ Byron Katie
