By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/hBpsmUqiBZ0 Episode #154 — More Gratitude, Less Platitude A search for quotes about gratitude will yield an endless scroll-parade of images leaving your screen sticky from sugary platitudes.

Episode 150: People claim to want to do something that matters, yet they measure themselves against things that don’t.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/8JymhWOKuIw Episode #150 — Know Your Currencies! All too often, people use a single currency to evaluate success: money.
