A few things that have inspired me recently:
Indian percussionist/composer Sarathy Korwar’s new album Day to Day has been keeping me company on my morning commute. Here’s the album opener Bhajan.
Ryan Holiday’s new book, Ego Is The Enemy, is now released in the UK and it’s been a fantastic read so far. Written in short, easy-to-read chapters, it tackles one of our biggest stumbling blocks; ego.
I just started a Bullet Journal which is a mashup between a to-do list, a life planner and a journal. I’ve struggled with journalling in the past but this seems to be working. Learn more over on Notemaker if you’re new to the concept.
This history of Japan is incredibly informative and hilarious in equal measures.
The nature of love is about paying attention to the people who matter, about still giving when you are too tired to give. Be a mother who listens, a father who cuddles, a friend who calls back, a helping neighbor, a loving child.
