Love this. It’s refreshing to cut through the noise and get back to what actually matters. I agree that the gap isn’t usually knowledge. It’s willingness. We know what to do. We just don’t do it because comfort feels safer than change. This was a great reminder to take ownership instead of outsourcing the blame. Challenge accepted😎

What is something that you know you could/should be doing but you are not?

There are always objections, but if we focus on the similarities we have, we can co-exist together without any problems.

I really like this.

Exactly, it is a choice to focus on what matters the most.

I love the emphasis on "learning how to be happy". It's so true. So often I find myself falling into the trap of believing that 'when I achieve X thing, I'll finally be "happy,"' but the truth is you are supposed to take responsibility of your happiness at every stage of the process! Good one :)

Attaching happiness to material possessions or goals is a very Western thing to do that we learned very early on. It’s a highway to disaster.

But it all starts and ends with our thoughts… what we think influences our state of being, our actions, our mood and everything else.

As we were “talking about” recently in another of your post, that’s where Eastern practices are super helpful.
