Guilt Is Worse than Jail

Say Hello

In this episode of Navigate the Day, we explore the powerful concept that guilt is worse than jail. The passage by Seneca reminds us of the importance of self-control and how it impacts our inner peace. We learn that when we act against our moral principles, we create a sense of disturbance within ourselves that can lead to a lack of inner calm.

Through today's journal prompt, we are encouraged to reflect on where our lack of self-control creates problems in our lives. The host shares their own struggles with self-control, particularly with drinking and impulsive decision-making. They also reveal how saying yes too quickly and seeking validation from employers can lead to burnout and stress.

The host reminds us that self-control is a learnable and trainable skill that can be cultivated with practice. By improving our self-control, we can make rational choices, maintain discipline, and create a better internal dialogue. Ultimately, the goal is to be the best version of ourselves for the world.

Join us on this episode of Navigate the Day as we discover the power of self-control and learn to cultivate a sense of inner peace.

Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
