🌿 STOIC POETRY - Embracing the Hard Truth: Life Will Not Go Well, A Lesson from Bob & Laurel's Story
Channel: ☀️softypapa
Date: 2024-01-11

🌿 In this video, I delve into the heart-wrenching story of my neighbors, Bob and Laurel, whose sudden decline starkly embodies the Good Life principle, "Life Will Not Go Well." Their unfulfilled dreams and abrupt life changes offer a profound lesson in the unpredictable nature of existence.

☀️ THE GOOD LIFE CREED ☀️
Their story serves as a crucial reminder of why we must live deliberately and appreciate the present. I explore how this principle influences our perception of time, dreams, and the inevitable challenges of life. For a deeper understanding of The Good Life, visit my website, GoingAlone.org, or explore my book Going Alone—hardcover recommended. Get your copy here: https://a.co/d/6SORY8N 🤠🏜️☀️
