#264 Rand Sperry: Did I Live, Love, and Matter?
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today is our very first show for the New Year of 2023. I thought, for today, I would start the new year chatting with my friend Rand Sperry about personal development expert Brendon Burchard’s take on what it means to live a life of purpose and to leave a legacy that matters. Brendon suggests something like this: “At the end of our lives we will all ask, in one way or another: Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?” It seems to me, that if we approach life with those three questions in mind, we will be able to say, “Yes. I have lived a good life.”

Who doesn’t love Fairy Tales?
Today Terry Hershey and I will engage in yet another very impromptu discussion. This time we plan to dive into the, may I say, treacherous waters of Fairy Tail.
As kids, so many of us were “Walt Disneyed” with challenging and happy-ending Fairy Tales, which offered hope for overcoming the hardships and trials that come with real life. And the messages from Fairy Tales continue to influence the way so many of us project and plan our futures.
But not all Fairy Tails ended the way Walt Disney Productions portrayed them did they? Cinderella, Snow White and The Little Mermaid originally had rather grim endings. And speaking of grim, just think of the Brothers Grimm tales. In fact, the fairy tales written by the Grimm brothers were not even intended for children… the stories were indeed quite “adult."
But today we are still, in our most optimistic moments, prone to compose stories of a particularly hopeful future. While I, personally, think that is a good thing to do, but the question arises, “Are personal fairy tales helpful?”
Let’s see what comes up in my lively conversation with Terry Hershey.
