1440: Recent Episodes
Clifford Mckenzie (1942-2019)
"You have 1440 chances to make life worthwhile every single day." -- Cliff McKenzie. Life's wisdom's are clearest when you're about to die. These podcasts are reflections of a 77 year old combat correspondent, who was dying of stage IV COPD. In his hospice situation he reflected on the philosophies and experiences necessary to best juggle life's many obstacles, from emotional to physical. His subjects focus on the 1440 minutes each of us has as a daily gift to succor life, or if we are misdirected in our thinking, to wallow in fear, disillusionment, and self-incrimination. In listening to these podcasts you will find rungs of a moral ladder that you can climb out of any morass you experience, so that you can see the beauty of life rather than its ugliness.

(Recorded May 16, 2019) Human emptiness is a great sad vacuum where we often feel we are nothing less than, not as good as others. In this state we are like the empty balloon. In this message we discuss how to inflate the soul with wisdom's that combat self loneliness, self deprecation, self admonishment so the soul can grow and expand with each day of life. With each 1440 minutes.

(Recorded May 9, 2019) Success in life is a matter of focus. How do we focus? what do we really see when we look? How can we sharpen the vision we have for ourselves and others? Eye of the bird is a parable about clear thinking. Your life will be enriched when you see through the eye of the bird.

As life evolves our expectations for both positive and negative grow in proportion to our experiences. Why is it so important to temper your expectations?
(Recorded May 18, 2019) We fight to soar above our problems in the skies of success., but on the way we meet turbulence.
