In the book You've Got to Read This Book by Jack Canfield and Gay Hendricks, noted daily syndicated talk show host John St. Augustine mentions the fact that his father had an extensive library in the front hallway of their home when he was growing up. He described that on his way out the door each work day, his father stopped at the library and chose a book for the day to take out into the world with him.
It struck me that this was an excellent example of someone who understood on some level that objects, like a book, can be used on a daily basis as a touchstone of sorts to remind us of who we are and what we intend as we step out of our homes.
My touchstones shift on a regular basis, I've noticed. What are yours?
