‘Give up and don’t miss out’

    

Just a quickie edition of The Magpie Mason to direct your attention to new episodes on two of my favorite YouTube channels, both of which I have recommended to you before. These were posted within the past few days, and they inadvertently share a common theme.

On his Daily Masonic Progress channel, the brilliant Bro. Darren Allatt of Australia shares the “Masonic Secret to Being Prepared for Anything,” in which he explains Freemasonry’s teachings on mental, physical, and spiritual readiness for life’s unexpected vicissitudes. Watch. It’s not even nine minutes long.

On his nearly always entertaining The Chap’s Guide channel, the affable and ever supportive Mr. Ash Jones in England reveals the “Things I’ve Given Up in My Life to Make It Better.” Not a Freemason, but probably ought to be, Jones lists a number of attitude corrections he embraced with the wisdom that accompanies advancing age. Less than nineteen minutes, plus you’ll see his modest cabin in the woods.

Enjoy them both.
