Every so often, I audit every information source Iβm subscribed to. I ask three simple questions I picked up from the late Jim Rohn:
- Who am I allowing to speak into my life?
- What effect is that having on me?
- Is that ok?
There are a lot of things I subscribed to a long time ago that I just never bothered to unsubscribe to. And every once in a while, I get annoyed and ask myself, βWhy am I still consuming this?β
Good advice. Obvious? Perhaps, though we often need reminders to do whatβs good for us.

We are being given a runaround. When a party wins an election, its victory excuses every mistake or excess for years before the election.Β We won, didnβt we?Β Any new criticism is interpreted as sour grapes or denial of the result: the purest illustration of one day dominating every other.
