Good Thoughts With Gabe

"Respect yourself and others will respect you." - Confuscious. Believing that you are powerful, beautiful and worthy of love and respect will lead to you gaining the same from others. It can be difficult in the beginning, but when you master self respect and self love, it makes you a strong, powerful being. Happy listening!

"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without"- Confuscious. Your imperfections have value beyond belief because it makes you different from the next person, giving you a uniqueness. Diamonds are often formed under pressure and the pressure in your life that you've faced that may have given you the flaw is the one thing that will always be loved by those around you. Your flaws make you under...

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Confuscious - Failure is never guaranteed but always possible, and it can either be everlasting or temporary. What determines this is how you choose to react to it. Will you try again and earn the glory you deserve, or will you retreat and forfeit your sliver? What matters the most is understanding the lessons failure...

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." - Confuscious. We all move at our own pace, some lightning fast and others slow and steady, but what we must never do is stop. When you hit a wall, make sure you push through it, climb over it knock it down completely because no obstacle is worthy of you leaving your goals unachieved. Never stop moving, you owe it to yourself. Happ...

Hi there. Season 4 has come and for this one, we will be taking inspiration from Chinese philosophy. These helped me in my life in the very early stages of my journey and served as a guide in developing my wisdom and earliest understanding of life, and I would like to help you all experience the same. Happy listening!

This has been spinning in my mind all day. Momento Mori: One day you will die - a powerful reminder of mortality, that we should live everyday to the fullest and trying our best to make an immortal dent in this mortal life. It is the motivation for us to be better than we were yesterday and to ALWAYS practice gratitude in everything that we do. Happy listening!

Marcus Aurelius tells us that whatever time you choose is the right time. Not late, not early; and we must understand that it is more rewarding to reach this journey's end with "I'm glad I did" rather than "I wish I did". Take charge of the things that you want, and know that everything is in its right time. Happy listening!

"Confine Yourself to the present", Marcus Aurelius. We often forget, in our busy lives, to live in the present. We are so concerned about the future that we do not enjoy and experience the best of the present. Confining ourselves in the present is the best way to give it our all and create the best future possible. Happy listening!

Marcus Aurelius wrote that our thoughts determine the quality of our mind. One of the most difficult things I've ever had to do was shift the quality of my mind from negative to positive, but it was worth it. This is definitely a challenge, but it is not impossible. Happy listening!

Marcus Aurelius wrote, "remember, very little is needed to make a happy life". I enjoyed sharing those things that allow me to make a happy life, that pushes me to wake up everyday and be the best version of myself. It took me most of my teenage years to understand why these create a happy life for me, and now I know that it adds to my purpose. It is through the things that I do in this life that...

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good person should be. Be one" - Markus Aurelius. We must be the change that we want to see in the world. All those things that we attribute to being a good person we have within our ourselves. All it takes is drive and a small act of kindness to make a much larger impact. Happy listening!

"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look." - Marcus Aurelius. In those times when you lack the strength to carry on, look within yourself. See the power you have and the lives you've impacted. See where you have come from, how it is moulded you and where it is taking you. You can always find strength within yourself because you are...

Today's quote by Marcus Aurelius is, "Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life." It is important for us to understand that our thoughts and actions today will always count. We live a new life every day and it is in our power to use it and try to change the world. Happy listening!

"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered" Marcus Aurelius. Always remember that everything is temporary - the pain, the failure and the heartache - and it will only remain for a day. When you go into your tomorrow, it will be forgotten because you find new beginnings and fresh perspectives. Happy listening!

Marcus Aurelius once wrote, "What we do now echoes in eternity", and this is something that we all need to remember. Our actions in the present have a great impression on people and will carry over into an eternity. It is very important for us to do good things and show others that there is still good in the world. This is our way to change the world - through people and actions. Happy listening!

Marcus Aurelius wrote "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength". We go through so much of our lives without understanding how much power we have. When we lack strength, we can always find it in our thoughts - we can always find it in those things about our mind that we can control - and adjust ourselves and our behaviour to help us cope. Happy l...

Hi there. We are back for a 3rd season and this one is particularly special because of the topic - Quotes and lessons from Marcus Aurelius. I am very excited to speak about these and how they have helped me in my life, and I hope that this will be our most powerful season yet! Happy listening!

Reflecting on this phenomenal season, only one statement comes to mind: change should not be feared because it is necessary. As heard in previous episodes, it is essential for growth, learning being better versions of ourselves. Change is the only constant in life, and it is something that should be embraced because of how often it happens. Change allows us to continually be better versions of our...

"It is only after you've stepped out of your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow and transform." Roy T. Bennett. One of the things that I am most grateful for in my life is making the decision to constantly leave my comfort zones. It is important for us to understand that growth and transformation cannot happen when we are in comfort because there is no learning. We cannot grow without lea...

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. - Maya Angelou - One of the many lessons I learned about change is that perspective matters. It is the first step in a total change of both environment and self. Your outlook on life affects your inner monologue, but if its positive, and you find the silver lining in most everything, change will occur - not immed...

If I am an advocate for anything, it is to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. - Anthony Bourdain - Movement in life is important because you learn new things, meet new people and experience so much. You understand things deeper and you find those kinds of environment that your meant to be in and those that you'd be better off without. We expa...

Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone. - Billy Cox - One of the many things I think about is if I would have achieved all that I have now if I stayed in my comfort zone. The link between change and achieving your goals is a powerful connection, when you're out of a comfort zone you're generally more motivated, confident and driven. Al...

"The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surrounding." Kakuzo Okakura (The Book Of Tea). It is a truly beautiful thing when we allow ourselves to readjust to every part of the change. We feel a difference in everything and we are motivated to learn and improve ourselves. Readjustment cannot be avoided, much like change, but we can always expect the best to come of it. It truly is th...

Maslow said that we have two choices at any moment of our lives; stepping into growth, or stepping back into comfort; and normally we are always compelled to take the latter. We don't understand how impactful the first choice can be on us, and how well it is connected with change. Now I pose a question to you all: when that moment comes again - and it will - which choice are you making? Happy list...

Gail Sheehy said "If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living". When change happens, at any point in life, we grow with it and form some interesting perspectives about ourselves and life in general. The more we change the more we grow, and through this, we learn to love more and be more. Change and growth are always connected because of how we develop through it, b...
