Growth is a two-step process in which first you must experience it and second, you must convert that experience into some lasting change in your brain. The absence of the good matters as well inside our own being. You look for the good and then take in the good and even use the good you take in to heal what is hurting or missing inside yourself. No one can defeat us there in the innermost temple - we earn the fruits of our practice.
What are the most essential lessons we've ever learned? Today we're exploring the first half of our 10 most important practices, skills, techniques, and reflections for the long road of life. Today we cover getting on your own side, the impact of childhood, widening your view, slowing down, and taking in the good.
A quick summary of Rick's approach to taking in the good.
