Welcome to The Abilene Harpercast

On this podcast you will find my most valuable lessons and the perspectives I use to design a happy life on my own terms.

Don’t change the world, change yourself and your whole world will change with you.

My most valuable lessons are learned by paying attention to see which aspects of life bring me joy and truly inspire me. Yes, I have character role models but what I’m talking about here is much deeper than that. It’s about diving deep, asking myself lots of questions, getting to know myself better, and being super duper real with myself, my virtues, strengths and shortcomings.

My perspectives are anchored in experiences, like taking full accountability for everything in my life (including the things that were and continue to be very much out of my control), building a strong set of personal values, self-esteem and confidence, and learning to think critically about everything.

It has been twelve years since I have started this process, and I must admit that at times it has been difficult, even painful, but most of the time this journey has been enlightening, joyous, fulfilling, and often quite surprising.

I really hope that the lessons and perspectives I share here are as valuable to you, or someone you know, as they have been to me and I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
