“I have done everything I can to achieve my goal” is what many of us say everyday, and yet we have not reached our goal yet. Why is that? A couple of days ago I was privileged to view the remains of a Buddhist Monk who had a goal; to relieve the world of pain […]

Recently I was watching a toddler as he sprinted from his Dad’s car parked outside the bank. The child ran to the ATM and began pushing buttons, just like his Dad had been doing to get cash, but of course nothing came out of the machine: much to the little ones displeasure. It occurred to
We are pretty good at recognizing hostility when it is directed at us, heck sometimes we even imagine hostility coming at us when there is none. But what about the hostility we direct at ourselves?
