+1: #205 To Thine Own Self Be True - a podcast by Brian Johnson

William Shakespeare once told us (via Polonius in Hamlet): “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

For some reason, as a 15-year old in high school, I decided THAT would be the very first quote I ever wrote down and committed to memory.

I can still vaguely see my handwriting on a little index card in my mind’s eye. I laugh with joy as I think of that awesome younger version of me thinking that was a quote worthy of my attention. 

“This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

To thine own self be true…

Are you?

Emerson echoed this wisdom centuries later when he said: “Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string!”

Trust thyself…

Do you?

Today’s +1. Let’s live the wise words of our dear friends Will and Ralph just a little more today.
