A Prayer to the Ancestors, for Future Generations

Send us a text This episode is a meditation and a prayer — to the Ancestors who came before us, on behalf of the future generations who will carry on after we are gone. Drawing from the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic ideal of living a virtuous life in service to others, I reflect on impermanence, legacy, and what truly matters. Wealth, fame, and status fade like vapor, but kindness, generosity, and love endure across time. I share the story of “Auntie Jay,” a remarkable Korean woman ...

Martial Arts is the Solution to Your Identity Struggle
