  • #5: Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

    What is the difference between making plans and taking action? So much of our time is spent trying to figure out what goodness is, but what is its lived experience?

    This week’s quote: “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” by Marcus Aurelius, from his book Meditations.

  • #4: It is never burdensome to follow someone’s genuine experiencing

    We explore the quality of our communication. We investigate what we think makes great connection with others, and the elements that make that connection so rare and precious.

    This week’s quote: "It is never burdensome to follow someone's genuine experiencing. Only the mental fixations - the stories, beliefs, and judgements about our experience - become burdensome, never someone's living experiencing itself." by spiritual teacher and psychotherapist John Welwood, from his book Toward a Psychology of Awakening: Buddhism, Psychotherapy, and the Path of Personal and Spiritual Transformation.

  • #3: You don't take insults. You leave them with the insulter
