    The journey from the cave to sunlight can be painful and challenging as it forces us to leave our comfort zones.

    The goal of education is to drag every man as far out of the cave as possible. Education should not aim at putting knowledge into the soul, but at turning the soul towards the light.

    Most of us set goals that are way below our potential. However, Aristotle reminds us that in all of us there is greatness, there is possibility, there is so much untapped potential. In all of us is a dream that will stretch us well beyond our comfort zones. And as the author of Think & Grow Rich states, "No more effort is required to aim high in life."

    What are your dreams and goals? How high are you aiming and what is stopping you from setting goals that are equal to your unlimited potential.

  • The essence of YOU
    Jun 11 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    "Every flaw, every strength. It took years to see, but embracing every part of me has been the greatest journey."

    Join Tanya Harris and Skye McKenzie as they delve into the though provoking quote -"The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself."

    This profound saying by Lao Tzu reminds us of the beauty and peace found in embracing who we truly are. Just as the snow goose is naturally white without trying, we too have our own natural essence that doesn't require embellishment.

    In today’s world, where we often feel pressured to conform or alter ourselves to fit in, Lao Tzu’s words serve as a gentle reminder: authenticity is our greatest asset. There's no need to strive to be anything other than what we inherently are.

    As you listen to this episode, we invite you to take a moment to appreciate your true self and encourage you to live authentically.

    When individuals engage in respectful dialogue, they not only understand others at a deeper level but also refine their own views and their own way of thinking.

    In Episode 11 of The Apple Pie Club we unpack this insightful quote from Thomas Aquinas: We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have laboured in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.
