“I’m just being honest” is a poor excuse for being rude. Candor is being forthcoming in what you say. Respect is being considerate in how you say it. Being direct with the content of your feedback doesn’t prevent you from being thoughtful about the best way to deliver it.

There’s a fine line between being an empathic parent and teaching your child the right time and place to share their emotions. Society by in large frowns on being vulnerable in public. So how do we express ourselves without fear of judgment? I don’t know the right answer to that, but maybe the solution lies somewhere in the transition between childhood and adulthood.

Chop wood, and carry water is the Zen proverb that references the need for committing to and thriving during the process of any pursuit. Focus on the task at hand. Specialize in the process. Learn it inside and out. That’s how you gain enlightenment.

 Impermanence doesn’t make things less valuable. If fact it’s quite the opposite. Our lives and everything in them are borrowed and can’t be held onto forever. Instead of allowing impermanence to be a source of fear try viewing it as a source of joy. Like a free vacation.  Appreciate the ride you’re on. The objective is to become less attached or more detached. Life is fleeting so find peace with things that are out of our control.

Chronos is the forward propelling time that we measure with clocks and calendars, but time does not end there. The Greeks’ second word for time is “kairos”.  “Kairos” is what many philosophers would refer to as “deep time”.  When you find yourself in Kairos time, you completely lose track of Chronos time. A state of flow is activated, and it cannot be measured but only experienced.
