I’ve had a handful of good conversations lately where the idea of enjoying life came up. I don’t think any of us would argue that it probably is best to enjoy life, rather than be miserable. But still, some people feel that being miserable is their only option.
This is so good. Two things I've learned that have made my life more enjoyable are 1) Realizing I don't always need to be right and 2) Choosing my battles carefully. Sometimes it's much less stressful to simply overlook a matter, keep my thoughts--and especially my words--to myself and let it go rather than argue, which can take a tremendous toll on my peace and requires an incredible amount of physical, mental, and emotional energy. I'm so looking forward to your meditations. I've listened to meditation tapes in the past (yes, "tape" gives away my age) and have found them quite helpful. Thank you, Mark!
