21 - Home

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is home. Is there a difference to you between a house and a home? (pause) Sure, the difference is purely semantic, but, to me, home is a place where you should feel needed, cared for, and at peace. I remember living in a house at 21 years old with four friends and never feeling more restless and alone. I think it was because we didn’t deeply need each other. After that, I worked and lived at a boys’ home where most of the kids didn’t want me around, but I felt a sense of purpose and ownership. I felt needed. Today’s concrete challenge is to have a conversation with the people in your house. Ask them what they think would make your home feel even more homey. It might be decorations, a daily or weekly discussion time, or some other connection ritual. Take whatever suggestions they have and make it a priority to implement them. Let me know how it went at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
