You think you understand and know people, but we can never truly understand, which is actually kinda refreshing to just let the mystery be, which is what this month's food-for-thought is all about. Enjoy!

Active listening is not simply hearing the words that are spoken, it's listening to understand WHY the words were spoken. 🙏

Whenever it felt like I was drowning in life, it was just the universe teaching me to swim. I'll remember that next time I'm under water.

Don't waste time trying to convince people of the truth when the truth isn't as important to them as their egos. My blue sky isn't jeopardized by how green they perceive it. Prioritize inner-peace over proving people wrong. You may see a green sky one day or realize you've been colorblind all along

If you don't define what "enough" means to you, then 1) you will never HAVE enough, and 2) you will never feel like you ARE enough. You can't change the world in its entirety, but you CAN change someone's entire world, and that, my friends, is enough! New Podcast episode: youtu.be/I0iUgN5H-KQ

Sometimes Tact is the art of telling someone the truth in such a way that they are grateful for it, and sometimes Tact is the art of knowing not to say anything at all. But Tact is never blunt criticism or unsolicited advice. I think the flip side of Buddha's Mindful Speech is Mindful Silence 🙏

You CAN have the life you want, but it won't happen overnight... It takes a bunch of small steps to make it a reality. If you don't take those small steps, then you can only have the life you DON'T want. The choice is yours.

People are under no obligation to live up to our expectations of them. Read that again. Once we accept that, we can live in peace with them and with ourselves. Know acceptance, know peace. No acceptance, no peace.

Heartbreaking to watch friends & family direct their anger at the people who tell them the truth, not at the people who lied to them. It happens if we cling to beliefs, ideas, opinions & traditions, even in the face of obvious failure. Let go of what's killing you even if it's killing you to let go.

Stand in your truth even if your knees are shaking. Speak with quiet confidence rather than screaming with obvious insecurity. And listen to understand, not to judge. 🙏

Needing external validation puts us in a dysfunctional co-dependent relationship with the entire world, whereas healing our wounds liberates us from the confines of social conventions. We need role models with a moral compass 🙏

Someone just told me they can't live in line with their core values because they don't know what they are. I said, "If you're unclear about your priorities, just look at the way you spend your time and money, and there is your answer." After a long silence they said, "I've got some work to do!" 🙏

If someone treats you badly, just remember there is something wrong with them, not with you. Healthy people don't go around destroying others.🙏

Spent time with some relatives yesterday who unconditionally love without judgment, and just accept everyone with tender gentleness. We have so much to learn from them 🙏❤️🐮

You aren't stuck. You cling to behavior patterns that helped you in the past, but they have become harmful, not helpful. You can't move forward if you use an old formula in this new stage of life. Change the formula, and you'll get different results. It's not easy, but it beats spinning in circles.

It's in your best interest to increase your tolerance. Avoid wishing for things to be different than they are because comparison, desire, and resistance, are the causes of anguish and suffering. This podcast episode is 5 minutes short, but it can stay with you for a long time… youtu.be/LltvG90qeJs

When I've lost a job or a relationship, it felt like the end, but it was just another step toward something better. Remember this the moment something happens; everything is a step. What looks like a stumbling block in your life is usually a stepping stone. You decide what it is. —Timber Hawkeye

There isn't a list of things you need to do in order to be happy, but there IS a list of things you are regularly doing that prevent you from being happy, like the Three C's: Complaining, Comparing, and Criticizing.

My favorite part in the Bible is where Jesus was alone talking to God, and someone who wasn't there wrote about it. 🤭

When there is no cure, there are coping skills and healthy habits we can form to replace detrimental ones. It isn't easy, but it is EASIER than spending the rest of our lives angry, burnt out, overthinking, anxious,stressed, sad, lazy, or impatient. 🙏 Practice. Practice. Practice.

Over 800 schools of Buddhism, and in Zen, monks can get married. I was confused why anyone would choose a life of simplicity and self-reflection yet still be in a relationship. My teacher said there are things you can only learn about yourself in a relationship that you cannot learn alone. Agree?

"An easy trek in the wrong direction is ultimately much more difficult than an uphill climb toward euphoria." Not sure what page that's in Buddhist Boot Camp, but it's in there. I've never met a strong person with an easy past 🙏

Contentment is not attained by getting more, it's what happens when you want less. Then you can slow down enough to leisurely enjoy life instead of rushing to the same destination as everyone else. It's not a race nor a competition. Wake up! 🙏

You can't always control what is happening, but you CAN always control how you respond to what is happening. THAT's your power 🙏
