Podcast appearances and mentions of William Ernest Henley

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Trust thyself […] Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American writer and philosopher, in “Self-Reliance” “I am the master of my fate,I am the captain of my soul.”~William Ernest Henley, English poet and writer, in “Invictus” “I have got so much to do and life is so short, I am going to hustle.”~Thomas Edison, American inventor “The opportunity cost of going to sleep is too high. If you go to sleep, you won't be with your 20 AI coding agents.”~Marc Andreessen, American venture capitalist and entrepreneur “The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.”~W.C. Fields, American actor and comedian “Sleep is a parable that God is God and we are mere men. God handles the world quite nicely while a hemisphere sleeps. Sleep is like a broken record that comes around with the same message every day: Man is not sovereign. Man is not sovereign. Man is not sovereign.”~John Piper, American Baptist pastor and theologian “We are able to have children because our hope is in God, who makes it possible to do the absurd thing of having children. In a world of such terrible injustice, in a world of such terrible misery, in a world that may well be about the killing of our children, having children is an extraordinary act of faith and hope. But as Christians we can have hope in the God who urges us to welcome children.” “Nothing is more hopeful than the birth of a child. Such births defy the unknown, claiming that we can in fact trust in God. […] What we are about as Christians is the having of children. That must come first, and then we must subject other aspects of our lives to that reality. I am not suggesting that children become an end in themselves, but rather that children are the way we remember that it is God that matters, not making the world safe or rich.” “Christians, single and married, are parents. ‘Parent' names an office of the Christian community that everyone in the community is expected faithfully to fulfill. […] God has not willed the church to be reproduced through biology but through witness and conversion.”~ Stanley Hauerwas, American theologian and Christian ethicistSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 127 (ESV)Psalm 1271 Unless the Lord builds the house,  those who build it labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches over the city,  the watchman stays awake in vain.2 It is in vain that you rise up early  and go late to rest,  eating the bread of anxious toil;  for he gives to his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,  the fruit of the womb a reward.4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior  are the children of one's youth.5 Blessed is the man  who fills his quiver with them!  He shall not be put to shame  when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. Luke 12 22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them.… 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.… Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Psalm 35 I lay down and slept;  I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people  who have set themselves against me all around. Jeremiah 29 4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease.… 11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Matthew 16 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

In 1875, poet William Ernest Henley lay in a hospital bed, one leg already amputated, and wrote these now-famous words: “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” It sounds courageous, but Scripture tells a different story: “Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him” (Psalm 115:3, NIV). In Genesis 17, God appears to Abraham and introduces Himself by a name never used before in all of Scripture—El-Shaddai, God Almighty—because Abraham still hasn't grasped who is truly in charge. What Abraham discovers in this encounter is the one truth that can anchor any life: When everything seems out of control, everything is under God's control. To live in that reality, there are three things you need to do: Walk before the Lord, wait on the Lord, and watch for the Lord.

looking for more DTP content and swag? www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-linksJanuary 10, 2020: Leadership, Resilience, and Building a Mission-Driven Life January 10, 2020, is a defining date—not just for this podcast, but for leadership, resilience, and what it truly means to commit to a mission. In this reflective episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena looks back on the day he left a stable corporate career to go all-in on building Doberman Emergency Management. This conversation is not about COVID, headlines, or hindsight—it's about decision-making under uncertainty, values-based leadership, and the personal cost of choosing purpose over comfort. John shares hard-earned lessons from years of entrepreneurship, emergency management, and crisis leadership—drawing parallels between disaster response and navigating business crises. He explains how mission-driven organizations endure, why comparison is corrosive to leadership, and how resilience is built not through ease, but through repeated adversity. The episode centers on three powerful leadership principles:Stop measuring success by comparison and instead focus on whether those around you have what they need.Ignore criticism from people you wouldn't seek advice from, and be intentional about whose voices shape your decisions.Build resilience deliberately, understanding that mitigation matters—but storms will still come.John also reflects on the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley, using it as a lens to discuss grit, accountability, and personal responsibility in moments when circumstances feel overwhelming. The episode closes with a reminder that long-term leadership is about endurance, sacrifice, family, and learning to embrace the journey—come what may. This episode is essential listening for:Emergency managers and first respondersEntrepreneurs and executives navigating uncertaintyLeaders building mission-focused organizationsAnyone facing burnout, criticism, or high-stakes decisionsIf you're building something that matters—and feeling the weight that comes with it—this episode offers perspective, clarity, and hard-won encouragement grounded in real experience, not theory.

Many can feel weighted by pressures, ills, and life's struggles, especially in the darkest time of the year. It is no coincidence that Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa take place at this time with their messages of light. Jan shares the "rest of the story" of a man, William Ernest Henley who, though ill and struggling much of his life, created a poem of empowerment that has inspired the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson, Nelson Mandela and generations after.

You are a Masterpiece Crafted with Purpose! "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 Life is full of moments that challenge us, yet these moments often lead us to greater revelations about ourselves and uncover our hidden potential. It's in the struggle that we find the strength we never knew we had. Remember that you are a masterpiece crafted with purpose, and no hardship is too great to prevent your growth. As you face life's battles, think of them as pathways leading you closer to unveiling your true capabilities. Trust in this journey and embrace each sign as a marker of the faithful plan laid out for you. Take inspiration from J.K. Rowling's story, who transformed rejection into triumph. Before becoming one of the best-selling authors in history, she faced countless rejections from publishers while battling personal struggles. Instead of yielding to despair, she persisted with unwavering determination—uncovering her hidden potential one word at a time through Harry Potter. Her journey is a powerful reminder that setbacks can be stepping stones if met with resilience and faith. Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” As Genesis 8:5 reminds us with its message of hope after the floodwaters receded, there is always evidence of God's faithfulness in your life too. Let the truth from Isaiah 41:10 fill your spirit with confidence during uneasy times. Know that every step you take is divinely guided towards realizing all that has been placed within you by an unfailing Creator. In closing, let William Ernest Henley's words bolster your resolve: I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. In other words, you're equipped to forge ahead courageously. Acknowledge today as part of the wondrous adventure designed for discovering what was once hidden inside—your boundless potential awaiting revelation. Keep moving forward with an uplifted heart and steadfast belief in yourself and God's unwavering presence on this incredible path toward fulfillment. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Amen. Prayer for the day! May your life continually reflect the indescribable beauty and warmth of God's love. Like a lighthouse guiding ships safely through stormy seas, I pray that your steadfast faith draws those adrift in life towards safety and peace. The Lord is your everlasting light, turning night into day and sorrow into joy. In Jesus' name. Amen. https://maglife.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-divineo/support

Today's poem–benign anthem of the resilient human spirit or a hymn to radical autonomy?–has divided audiences for more than a century.Born in Gloucester, England, poet, editor, and critic William Ernest Henley was educated at Crypt Grammar School, where he studied with the poet T.E. Brown, and the University of St. Andrews. His father was a struggling bookseller who died when Henley was a teenager. At age 12 Henley was diagnosed with tubercular arthritis that necessitated the amputation of one of his legs just below the knee; the other foot was saved only through a radical surgery performed by Joseph Lister. As he healed in the infirmary, Henley began to write poems, including “Invictus,” which concludes with the oft-referenced lines “I am the master of my fate; / I am the captain of my soul.” Henley's poems often engage themes of inner strength and perseverance. His numerous collections of poetry include A Book of Verses (1888), London Voluntaries (1893), and Hawthorn and Lavender (1899).Henley edited the Scots Observer (which later became the National Observer), through which he befriended writer Rudyard Kipling, and the Magazine of Art, in which he lauded the work of emerging artists James McNeill Whistler and Auguste Rodin. Henley was a close friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, who reportedly based his Long John Silver character in Treasure Island in part on Henley.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Length: 1 hour 16 minutesSynopsis: This evening (3/28/24), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we began learning the next mishnah which is about humility - or, to be precise, "extreme lowliness of spirit." We started learning through the Rambam's lengthy commentary, which is essentially a treatise on humility, but because this required us to do an overview of the Rambam's entire approach to character traits in Hilchos Deios, we only made it through the first two paragraphs of his commentary here. We had a good review and got some nice insights, but there is much, much more to be said about being very, very humble. To be continued!

Friends, the power of Jesus on the cross is more than enough to carry us, and nothing is out of reach for our God.

Powerful Life Poetry: Invictus by English poet, writer, critic and editor - William Ernest Henley. Read by John Mydrim Ballantyne Davies.William Ernest Henley (23 August 1849 – 11 July 1903) was an English poet, writer, critic and editor in late Victorian England. Though he wrote several books of poetry, Henley is remembered most often for his 1875 poem "Invictus". A fixture in London literary circles, the one-legged Henley was also the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's character Long John Silver (Treasure Island, 1883), while his young daughter Margaret inspired J. M. Barrie's choice of the name Wendy for the heroine of his play Peter Pan (1904).Speaker: John Mydrim Ballantyne Davieswww.thevoice.walesINVICTUSOut of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

People frequently explore ways to develop their psychic abilities outside of themselves. But the tools are not the pendulum, not the tarot cards, and not clairvoyance; rather, they are your physical body, your energetic body, your spiritual body, and your psychic body. It is a part of you, just like clairaudience and claircognizance are both happening inside of you. Whenever I instruct other people, I always tell them, "You are the instrument." You need to have a deep understanding of your physical self, including how you take in information, how you react to it, what you do with it, and how it makes you feel. Because, as William Ernest Henley once said, You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You are in control of your destiny; that ship that you are sailing, you are the captain of that. To get where you want to go, you have to know every nook and cranny of the ship and make sure it's safe to go before you set sail. Even if your ship looks the same as other ships or is made the same way, the waves it met and the rocks that scraped against it will be different from those of other ships. You already possess everything you need because you have both your soul and your knowledge within you, the instrument that you play is also within you. It is possible for you to receive intuitive or psychic auditory information through several chakras, such as your throat or your eyes. Additionally, clairaudience can present itself in a variety of forms depending on the chakra that is active at any one time. It is vitally important to me that you are aware of how essential it is for you to achieve mastery of your instrument. I'm helping powerful people every day to shift their humdrum life from finger-tapping boring to exciting experiences deeply rooted in their heart and soul. If you are ready to get out-of-the-box of your life, engage intuitive tools, elevate your life and business, and finally, bring your mission to the world, whether through speaking on stages, creating your signature product, healing the masses, writing a book, producing your film, or all of the above, then book a call with me.

Ever tried to learn a new skill? To be successful you need a knowledgeable instructor to show you how to master the concepts necessary to accomplish the task (i.e. fix something on your car). If you tried to do it without any instruction, the end result wouldn't be very successful, no matter how many times you might restart. You have no knowledge of the skill and one to teach it to you. In his poem Invictus, William Ernest Henley declares that he is the captain of his soul - he's the ultimate "good" and "god" in his universe. Many in our society have adopted this point of view - "Follow your heart" - "I Did It My Way." However, we as humans are selfish, prone to wickedness, and really good at messing things up. Our "heart" will lead us astray every time. Today Pastor Rich will show that Jesus desires to be the Captain of your soul. He is perfect, all-powerful, all-knowing, and loving. Will you let Him lead you, or would you rather "do it your way?" Matthew 4:18-22

William Ernest Henley's classic poem, Invictus, ends with the declaration, “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” Frank Sinatra captures the same conviction in his popular song, “I Did It My Way.” Both texts celebrate human independence and self-determination. But the famous poet is dead, and the crooner is no more. Are we ultimately in control of our own lives and destinies, or are our attempts at self-determination evidence of rebellion against our true Master and Commander? Join us for part 4 of Tipping Point, where we will explore Jesus' parable about the rebellious tenants.

Captain Fantastic (2016) R 1h 58m Written and directed by Matt Ross-Produced by Electric City Entertainment and ShivHans Pictures 2: Captain Fantastic: Flushing Expectations and Norms Down the Toilet Episode Transcript Episode Page with Pictures Episode Host: Sarah Woolverton-Mohler Co-Host: Jennie Ziverk Carr Screen Care's host, Sarah, leads listeners and co-host Jennie through several themes she gleaned from the movie Captain Fantastic. First, Sarah categorizes Captain Fantastic as a "Thinking Movie", and discusses how Captain Fantastic is uniquely the kind of movie that challenges viewers to think deeply about many facets of life long after the film ends. Captain Fantastic is also a movie about Educating Children. We hear how Sarah felt that Captain Fantastic offered a lens through which to consider less conventional modes of education to her children, and encouraged her to parent with agility to meet her kids where they are. Lastly, Screen Cares digs into the theme of Living Authentically and the many ways the family depicted in Captain Fantastic challenges viewers to evaluation their own level of authenticity. A thinking movie: There are so many great movies out there and they all fulfill certain roles for us. Some are fun ways to escape the hum-drum of everyday life. Others offer a beautiful example of how film is a true art form. Still others transport us to different worlds, allow us to see different perspectives and different experiences. Captain Fantastic is the kind of movie that challenged our Screen Cares team to think deeply and this purpose felt unique and special.  Educating children: If you have kids or have kids in your life that you care for, you'll ultimately be faced at some point with deciding how you want your children to be educated. There are many ways to facilitate education, and education is vital! Sarah from Screen Cares felt that Captain Fantastic offered a lens through which to consider less conventional modes of education to her children, and encouraged her to parent with agility to meet her kids where they are. Living authentically: After going through a re-evaluation of her family's priorities, values and needs, Sarah and her husband felt that they were not living in a manner that was authentic to who they are as people. Captain Fantastic depicts a family who strives for authenticity, and who realizes that our concept of who we are as individuals and who we are as a family unit may change from time to time.   Screen Shares Rating:  Buddy Screen Love Screen Co-Parent Screen*  *(This is not a normal Screen Cares Rating, but one which we felt best described the desire to share this movie with someone that you share parenting responsibilities and brainstorming with, even if you are not in a romantic relationship with that person.)   Screen Sparks: What unconventional choices have you made in your life to try to be the “master of your fate” or “captain of your soul”? Do you believe that the merits of society outweigh the issues? Do you feel that parenting should consider training for the real world, or training children to reshape the world? Do you have to choose all or nothing, or should extremes be avoided? Do you have friends who would question your choices in such a way that leads you to do more thinking? Do you prefer friends that cheer you on but who don't challenge you to think deeper about the choices you make?   Behind the Scene- Pics and Bonus Materials: During Screen Cares PodRetreat in Chicago, Host Sarah strikes a thoughtful pose worthy of Invictus.   When Screen Cares Co-Host Jennie sold her home and moved her family into an RV fit for adventure, Sarah joked that Jennie's family now had their very own "Steve" like the family in Captain Fantastic.   After the Credits Roll-Links Referenced during the show: Official website to Captain Fantastic https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/captainfantastic IMDB summary/description that was referenced by Sarah in this episode of Screen Cares: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3553976/?ref_=ttawd_awd_tt Visit Poetry Foundation to read William Ernest Henley's 1875 poem, Invictus: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51642/invictus Want to see the great Morgan Freeman recite Invictus from memory? https://youtu.be/a7q_vACVwq0 Or to hear Tom Hiddleston read it? https://soundcloud.com/user-511793251/invictus-by-william-ernest-henley-read-by-tom-hiddleston?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Check out Captain Fantastic's many awards: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3553976/awards     If you or someone you love is talking or thinking about suicide, or would like free emotional support, please visit the link below for 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline where you can speak with a trained and skilled crisis support worker.  https://988lifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/  

They say confidence is knowing and you got to know who the hell you are. Like it's a feeling. Like you just know and I think oftentimes you can say confidence is comparable to "big energy.” Now, we heard Latto talking about "big energy," but I got somebody new. His name is Ladipoe and he's a Nigerian artist. He goes by “Poe” and in the track he's talking about "Big Energy." He says, "I'm all about that big energy. I know you can tell from the confidence alone. Anywhere I sit, you know it's already a throne. King! Everybody talks, but be careful with your tone. Many have the number. But I only pick up the phone for that big energy." When you walk in a room... when you answer the phone... when your presence is known, you better walk in like that "big energy." You better walk in like you own that room because you do. And how did that poem go in "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley? Understand, "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." So what [are] you writing down with that "big energy," huh?! Let's go! Alright, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset." I ain't got nothing but that "big energy."

You know, they say, "you can't fail if you don't quit." Imagine that. If you don't quit, you can't fail. So the key is to keep going. If you can not fail, then why would you ever quit? I don't know. I wonder sometimes. But I came across this track with Jeezy and the name of the track is "Keep Going" And in it he's just chanting, "Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Rwrah! Agh! Agh!" I'm imagining myself at the gym because I'm telling you, when the weights are hitting, when I'm on that treadmill, the mother freaking Assault [Runner Pro]. I tell Lateef, I said, "I feel like this thing is trying to "assault" on my life." The "mode" is to "keep going." So I don't know what it is that you're going after. I don't know what it is that you want. I don't know what it is that you desire. I just know that you're going after something. And I want to encourage you. "Keep going! Keep going!" And in fact, you know, Jeezy, he has some ad lib in there and he says, "Talk your motherf*cking talk. Keep on moving on these motherf*cking suckers." You ready?! Let's go! In fact, check out William Ernest Henley as he states in "Invictus." "My head is bloody, but unbowed." Why? Because "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." "Keep going! Keep going!" All right. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

In this episode, we're honoring John Lewis, the civil rights hero and Congressman who died in 2020. The bond that Lewis forged with young Tybre Faw is the subject of a new picture book by best-selling author Andrea Davis Pinkney. Illustrated by Keith Henry Brown, the book is called Because of You, John Lewis: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship. Andrea joins host Suzanne McCabe to talk about the inspiration for the book—the moment she saw Tybre, then 12, reading William Ernest Henley's poem, “Invictus,” at the Congressman's funeral. “I watched this child honoring this civil rights hero, and I wondered what had led him to this moment,” Andrea says. Tybre first met Lewis in 2018 in Selma, Alabama. His two grandmothers had driven him from their home in Tennessee to the annual march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The bridge was the site of an assault by state troopers on Lewis and hundreds of voting rights demonstrators in March 1965. “Bloody Sunday” would prove to be a turning point in the civil rights movement, outraging the nation and leading to the passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act. Later in the episode, U.S. Representative Nikema Williams shares her memories of Lewis and explains how Tybre and other young people are following in the courageous leader's footsteps. Williams now represents Georgia in the same congressional seat Lewis once held.

"Almost 150 years ago, in 1875, the late Victorian poet, William Ernest Henley, born in Gloucester, England, wrote the following while suffering from recurring illness. The poem has, ever since, inspired courage and strength in hearts." "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thewanderingpaddy.

The Golden Age, by Kenneth Grahame (1859 - 1932).The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscences of childhood, written by Kenneth Grahame and first published in book form in 1895, by The Bodley Head in London and by Stone & Kimball in Chicago. The Prologue and six of the stories had previously appeared in the National Observer, the journal then edited by William Ernest Henley. Widely praised upon its first appearance – Algernon Charles Swinburne, writing in the Daily Chronicle, called it "one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise" – the book has come to be regarded as a classic in its genre.Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are "Olympians", while the chapter titled "The Argonauts" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception "of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young" – a theme later explored by J.M. Barrie and other authors.(From Wikipedia).Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Your Deceptive Brain and the Illusion of Free Choice with Robert L. Taylor, MDAired Thursday, January 27, 2022 at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM ESTThere is a famous saying taken from the poem “Invictus” penned by the Victorian era poet William Ernest Henley, which ends with the lines:“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”Few would disagree with that. From the moment we are born, we are hard wired to believe that we have free will… we are in control of the decisions we make and the actions we take. But according to today's guest, neurobehavioral science is sending us an expecting message: We are not whom we seem to be. Not even close. And at the heart of this misperception is our deep-seated conviction of free choice.Robert L. Taylor, M.D., is a former Associate Clinical Professor of family medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, and a past consultant to the United States secret service, and the California department of mental health. The executive producer, writer and radio voice for the PBS radio series, “Staying Well,” Robert L. Taylor has authored six books, dozens of articles, and appeared on numerous local and national radio & tv shows including NBC's Today show.Robert L. Taylor joins Sandie this week to discuss his latest book The Deceptive Brain – Blame, Punishment, and the Illusion of Choice, in which, based on emerging neurobehavioral science, he makes the case for human experience as a narrative illusion created by our brain, and explains what this means for the way we make decisions, and the way we blame and punish wrongdoers.Visit the What Is Going OM show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/what-is-going-omConnect with Sandie Sedgbeer at https://www.sedgbeer.com#RobertLTaylor #TheDeceptiveBrain #SandieSedgbeer #LifestyleSubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

This week on I Offer Poetry Elizabeth and her guest, Natasha Wright, discuss the inimitable power of Maya Angelou.   Natasha lives in Washington, D.C. and currently serves as the Senior Advisor in the Immediate Office of the Assistant Secretary within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).  In this role, Natasha is responsible for developing and implementing many of ACF's strategic initiatives. Prior to starting this role in April 2021, she served for two years as a legislative analyst within the Office of Legislative Affairs and Budget at ACF.    Our guest brings in the famous poem ‘Still I Rise' and tells us about how these words continue to resonate at every age she revisits them. After explaining she was coached by her mom into performing this poem for a childhood talent show, Natasha also reveals she had the opportunity to audit a class taught by Maya Angelou in college.   We examine the different lenses of self respect and confidence Angelou weaves into her writing and the evolution of femininity throughout. Natasha also opens up about how the line “Still I rise” comes to her in tough moments and what it means to embrace her natural instincts to lead others and make life better for those around her.   “[Maya Angelou] is truly embracing her femininity through this poem, [asking] 'does my sexiness upset you?' Because that is just who she is. Why are we trying to hide it, or mask it, or make it less than; to make others feel comfortable, to the detriment of ourselves?   Timestamps:  00:00:44 Guest Introduction 00:03:28 Poem Reading (Natasha) 00:05:30 Author Info 00:08:35 Natasha's Relationship to the Poem 00:19:08 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:34:38 Reflection & Offering   Poem & Links: Still I Rise by Maya Angelou (© 1978) Still I Rise (Live Performance, Maya Angelou) Invictus by William Ernest Henley   I.O.P.

William Ernest Henley, born August 23, 1849, was an influential British poet, perhaps best known for his poem “Invictus” (1875).

How many times have you ever taken a chance and gone, “well, what's the worst that could happen?” Most times, the worst never happens but for our guest, Tom, the worst, unfortunately, did happen and he was convicted of assault and drug offences and spent five years in prison. I wanted to find out what his experience was like and how did he cope when faced with such difficulty. In our conversation, Tom explains how he got into the drug scene, what happened when he got arrested and what goes on in prison behind locked doors. We also talk about the environment and Tom sets his personal challenge in line with his environmental values. Please note, this episode contains explicit language and mentions drugs and violence so may not be suitable for more sensitive ears. I loved this conversation, it was both mind-opening and heart-opening. I really hope you enjoy it too. *****Show Notes***** Prison facts from - https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/prisons-10-key-facts and https://insidetime.org/prison-the-facts/ Invictus by William Ernest Henley - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51642/invictus *****Let's continue the conversation on social media!***** Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TSLUntethered Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alison.untethered/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/AliUntethered **** Music on this episode ***** Show Me The Way by Vendredi https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/ZcAiMZtYrv8

Show Notes: Rethinking Stress with Heart and Mind Exercise: Letting in Light and Love Close your eyes and think of a moment when you experienced love. Any feeling of love works here. It can be a time when you felt another's love, or it can be the feeling of love you have for another. It can also be the feeling of love you felt when with a favorite animal, or from another time in nature. The feeling of love experienced during prayer or meditation also works. Close your eyes and repeat the exercise. This time let go of the circumstances that brought the feeling of love. Simply hold onto the feeling of love. Let it fill you and let it radiate through you. Call up the feeling of love without any associated memories. You don't need to close your eyes to call up this feeling. Call it up multiple times during the day and in various settings.   Quotations I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley, Invictus   If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.  Seneca   In the wonderland of Mind, I am as free as another with sight and hearing. Helen Keller        

Hey Y'all! I'm Back. Season One was a blast! Season Two: Life In The New Renaissance examines the emergence of an Era Fused with Creativity, Science, Technology, and Humility. I have candid conversations with folks from all over the world that are making a difference in a variety of ways. In This Episode-Hindsight 2020, I take a look at Black History Month and revisit some life changing events of 2020. Featured selections of original works by Amanda Gorman, Isaiah Boozer, and William Ernest Henley are sure to uplift, inspire, and instill hope for the future.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? If you could accomplish anything you want, no holds barred, what would it be? A conclusion we can come to about accomplishing a monumental goal is that we must start moving in its direction. Any action is better than no action. For some reason, any specific action never feels perfect. We wait around for it to feel right and may end up never taking any. What's wrong with this picture?! Patrick Lutz joins #truthseekers this week for a riveting discussion on self-reflection, celebration, and taking action when it comes to DEFINING SUCCESS. When we realize we have control over our lives and our destination, the world is our oyster. I believe this is what William Ernest Henley was referring to in the famous concluding lines of his poem Invictus, “I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.” How powerful is it to realize we are our own creators… --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nick-davies7/support
