Are you overwhelmed with the weight of the world? Are too many problems weighing you down and making life feel heavy? Are you tired?

I heard this story on the Tim Ferriss podcast recently, and I found it quite profound for such a seemingly “simple” story.

It reminds me of another video that I made several years ago – on the most important lesson I have learnt in life.

The most important lesson for me is the Wisdom prayer of St Francis of Asisi…

Give me the strength to change the things I can change,

Give me the patience to accept the things I cannot change,

and Give me the Wisdom to tell the difference.

Here’s the old video (from Paris): The most important lesson.
