To really get the most out of life one needs to keep a thoroughly open mind as life is often not what it seems. We owe it to ourselves to constantly interrogate what we are told is truth, whether that be about us personally, or about the world around us.
A life of real meaning and purpose results, not from allowing oneself to be 'blown with the wind' but from making a conscious, resolute decision to create the life one desires, followed by taking responsibility for that decision and standing up to the many challenges that are presented to test one's commitment to the chosen path.
In this podcast Bill shares how the simple reading of books became defining moments in his life, opening his mind and awakening him to the fact that life is not what it seems, but rather what you make of it.
