Who are u when u write
Who are u when u speak
Is being healthy being optimally functioning
What is being healthy anyway
Who can teach us how to think vs teach us what to think
Who can teach us how to learn vs what to learn
When will we start highlighting the process of work, of living, of being, of creating rather than the end product
When will we learn that maintenance is much more important than building
When will we overcome the hype of CV; it builds a mindset of thinking in titles and things that sound good on paper, not embracing the act of going through
How do we learn to go through
How do we emphasize that serious work is born from serious play

How to be an expert at waiting without checking your phone

“If a person cannot solve a conflict with a friend, how can they possibly contribute to larger efforts for peace? If we refuse to speak to a friend because we project our anxieties onto an email they wrote, how are we going to welcome refugees, immigrants, and the homeless into our communities? The values required for social repair are the same values required for personal repair. And so this discussion must begin in the most micro experience. Confusing being mortal with being threatened can occur in any realm. The fact that something could go wrong does not mean that we are in danger. It means that we are alive.
