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!

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!" 🙏
