  • #62 - Hope

    Hope is the quality of being willing to see a better future. Without it, goodness and greatness are not possible as the qualities of the heart will not be strong enough to endure the trials of life. I believe the point of life is to make the impossible choice when the time comes, and waiting for that time with patience and grace. Enjoy!

  • #61 - Noble Gas

    Continuing our run of Buddhist topics, I dive into the weapon that we have against the three marks of existence. The Four Noble Truths are straightforward but effective in dealing with procrastination and resistance against what life is and what it has to offer. Although you might wish it was different or continuously check to make sure that truth is still truth, the path forward lies within acceptance. Enjoy!
