Fundamental to Living a Zen-Inspired Life is realizing that, "Everything seen by the human eye is void, empty of any intrinsic value." Every experience is a function of the "meaning" we have given to any event, person, place, or thing. At anytime we can alter or change our experience no matter the circumstance or situation. When navigating through the many events of life, it is important to have the right questions. The most important question when managing stress and anxiety, grief or disappointment is, "What meaning am I giving to this?"
