The Magic State of Acceptance

This is the paradox of acceptance. What we accept, we defuse and release. What we do not accept, but fight against and resist, we give energy to so that it grows. It becomes increasingly unmanageable, and controls us. The opposite of just accepting ourselves, life, the world, others, the constraints that we face everyday, the cards life has dealt us, is the first step to true mastery and empowerment. It is the first step, not the last.

All or Nothing – Living in Extremes

All or nothing thinking is not a bad or even un-useful thinking pattern. It is not something to eliminate, as there are certain contexts where black/white, all/nothing thinking is a critical ability to possess. Problems can arise when we do not also have the flexibility to think in both/and terms AND in a continuum or with multi-dimensionality.

We live by meaning. You live your life by the meanings that you find and that you create. Meaning is the food that we thrive on; our daily bread. Without meaning, we human beings lack energy, vitality, and purpose and so we begin to drift in life and start missing the special moments that immerse everything in significance.
