Things to Think About

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. – Epictetus


I hesitated at first to use this quote from Epictetus, because I could hear a chorus of people saying, “So, Pepper, tell me something I didn’t already know!” 

Instead of using it to remind you of something, I wanted to use it to galvanize you to proactively reach out and schedule some time with someone you haven’t seen in a while, someone who really uplifts you and is thoroughly enjoyable to be with.

Stop and think—now.  Who is it?  Send an email or make the call now, before the thought lapses into that black hole of good intentions that never get acted upon. 

These are the little actions in life that can mean so much, to so many, in so many ways.

Good luck on your journey!
