ONE QUOTE
Separate the individual from their ego. Are they reacting? Getting angry? Defending themselves? Acting selfishly? Hurting others? Those are symptoms of unconsciousness. Have sympathy and remember there's a beautiful human being underneath everyone's ego.
— Me, inspired by Ekhart Tolle.
ONE PRACTICAL BEHAVIOR
Distinguish what you can control (your behavior) and what you can’t control (others’ behavior). Make this a mental routine. When people don’t behave the way you want, this is helpful.
Resisting things you cannot control breeds suffering.
