I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for May 1st. Now, May 1st brings us National Mantra Day, a time to reflect on the words that guide you—those short, powerful phrases you whisper to yourself when the going gets tough or when you need to find your center amid the chaos of daily life. Think of mantras as mental armor—or, if you prefer, your personal motivational playlist, only quieter. And speaking of mantras, here’s your quote of the day from Oprah Winfrey, who once said: "You become what you believe." Simple. Direct. Unshakably true. Oprah’s words capture the essence of what a mantra is supposed to do—it’s not just something you say; it’s something you breathe life into. If you keep telling yourself that you’re capable, resilient, and worthy, guess what? You start to embody those qualities. If your inner dialogue sounds more like a grumpy cat with a caffeine addiction... well, that’s on a different podcast. So today, take a moment to choose your mantra. Maybe it’s “I’ve got this.” Maybe it’s “Keep moving forward.” Maybe, it's "Every day in every way, I'm getting stronger and stronger". Whatever it is, make it yours. Let it anchor you through the noise and nudge you closer to the person you want to be. And before we wrap up, I have to mention that today is also International Doodle Dog Day. So here’s a warm shoutout to Jasper, a fluffy and enthusiastic friend of my puppy, Pepunder. So if you have a Doodle Dog, give that pup an extra treat today—and maybe whisper your mantra into his ear. He won’t understand it... but he’ll wag his tail anyway. That's loyalty and friendship right there. That's it for now... I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
