"Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life...,
our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive."
Thich Nhat Hanh
be happy now
the great Western disease is: “I’ll be happy when...”
thank people
Let it Go
Let it Go
•We’ve all done bad things we could dredge up
•What is the value add of feeling miserable?
•It’s done
•It’s not that it doesn’t matter what you do, it only matters what you do now
character, in the sense of a coherent,
continuously accumulating self is
an illusion
take a deep breath, in, let it out, you are a new you
there are no selves. only behaviors
your focus is not your past or your inner psyche. all
that matters is your future behaviour
in biz and Buddhism, the self
is an obstacle
the thing that inhibits innovation is attachment to
the self in the form of habits and doctrines and smugness and
memories of the past
The rationale businessperson and the good Buddhist
considers each moment afresh,
unencumbered by old frameworks
each asks: what should I do based on the evidence
before me, rather than on how people
usually behave
it’s easier to get un-fucked up, then to figure out why you’re fucked up. so, get un-fucked
up
Life isn’t fair...thank God
(look around)
Life is good
