Ralph Waldo Emerson - Nothing can bring you peace but yourself

Welcome to the Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 6th.Today is Put on Your Own Shoes Day. Teaching kids independence, one lace at a time.As an adult it sounds funny but when your trying to tie your laces for the first time it is a big deal. It's challenging and can be frustrating. The loop wraps around where and then what?And that brings us to today's quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said:"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."Emerson understood that no one else can tie your shoes. No one else can live your life.Self-reliance starts small. Tying laces. Making choices. Standing up.Peace comes from doing things yourself. Even small things. Especially small things.And when trouble comes your way only you can bring yourself peace. Nobody else can do it for you.So today, do something yourself. The thing you usually ask for help with.Not because help is bad. Because independence feels good.Emerson was right. Peace comes from within yourself. That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow. Same Pod time, same Pod Station - with another Daily Quote.
