See the intricacies in life and be present: Grateful Pod Ep.9

The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner

Presence. This is something that is so often talked about but I always hear something different. I believe presence is simple and it is one thing that nobody can ever take away from you.
In this episode I talk about how I have gone through my journey to feeling more present and give examples from books and spiritual leaders on presence as well. This one is not as science focused as it is really hard to genuinely measure presence. However, one thing I forgot to mention is that the worlds happiest man (measured brain activity) is a monk who is constantly focusing on his presence.
PRESENCE IS HUGE.
If you wish to be loved, love. -Seneca
I feel love for all human kind, and that is really the type of message that I am trying to spread here.
Talking about spreading love my mom and I have started a challenge called the #spreadlove365challenge
