688 Maria Shriver on Reflections for a Meaningful Life
b"\\u201cEverybody wants to be great, but I advocate that people already are great.\\u201d Things move much faster than they used to. The world is 24 hours a day, and people feel like they have to keep up. We have to post, we have to read, we\\u2019re comparing ourselves to each other on social media. Wayne Dyer says, \\u201cPeace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is rather than as you think it should be.\\u201d It\\u2019s so important that we take time to step back and reflect, so we don\\u2019t lose sight of what really matters. When we accept ourselves and everyone around us, we can experience a fuller life. On today\\u2019s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into a lot of things that have inspired an incredible mother and human being: Maria Shriver.
