For Episode 142 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS, we explore true leadership and self reliance. We talk about the habits we need to develop to live a self directed life. At the same time, this directive carries with it a caveat. We, as human beings, have a knack for destroying peace and cultivating jealousy, offense, and often violence against others. The Self Directed Life is so much more fulfilling, everlasting, and meaningful when it's lived in a selfless manner. When you achieve your life's goals and are an inspiration and a help to others, you are truly free.

BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF concludes with the poem, "Holy Thursday", from SONGS OF INNOCENCE, by William Blake.
