Thoughts of the day.

          I've read a few books in the last few months, a couple are from authors from 50+ years ago and I find myself wondering if the principles they laid forth are able to be applied into today's era?  I'm currently reading Dale Carangies book on how to win friends and influence people. So I read the topics he writes and wonder would that work on someone in 2017? Some parts of me think not but I surely will not know until I try. I love his principles in the book and I'm going to apply them the best I can and see what the outcome is.
       
         I've known my whole life that I had learning disabilities all through schooling but I didn't realize until after I started reading how much and how many words I don't know how to pronounce or their meanings, I have to stop myself from calling myself stupid and all. I knew for a fact that math was my worst subject but now I'm learning that I didn't learn so much in English as I thought I did. I've always told people that I have more common sense than book smart and it's true, however, I really am trying hard to change that.
     
        However, the new philosophy that I've adapted and started to apply to my life is really helping me feel better in so many ways, The Stoic Philosophy is amazing if you really study it and understand there meanings. It for one has helped me stop worrying so much and that's great in my eyes. Every day I learn a little more about the Stoics and I couldn't be happier with the choices I've made in my life in the past few months due to the Stoic belief. Just think 7 months ago I wanted to die I begged for it even prayed for it and I don't believe in prayer that's how bad it was.  I hated myself and my life. But one single video on Facebook changed my life, for as long as I have left on this planet I will always owe my life to Mentorbox, you may find it silly and that's ok. But years from now if someone reads this let it be known to them that Mentorbox saved my life for the intended reason of their company, simply put in their name Mentor, I needed a mentor 7 months ago and I found one/many in Mentorbox. That was their sales pitch in one since.
