As Buddhism moved from one culture to another, it always adapted.
We cannot be present and run our story-line at the same time.
Buddhism itself is all about empowering yourself, not about getting what you want.
The Process of becoming unstuck requires tremendous bravery, because basically we are completely changing our way of perceiving reality.
Clarity and decisiveness come from the willingness to slow down, to listen to and look at whatโs happening.
Each of us has a "soft spot": the place in our experience where we feel vulnerable and tender. This soft spot is inherent in appreciation and love, and it is equally inherent in pain.
