Every time summer would come around and our school would be off for vacation I would become homesick. As a monk, I would be experiencing a classic case of fear of missing out. When the students got to go home and visit family, I felt like I was stuck at the monastery only to be doing hard manual labor. I always wondered what it would be like to go home, relax, and visit family. I wondered how awesome it would be to be out in the world again and go out on the weekends. As the classic saying goes, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The grass is always green where you water it. https://MonkMindset.com
