the gift might be – the opportunity to practice patience – to build endurance – and even calmness and composure in life’s difficulties… chronically challenging situations give me time, I’d never thought of them in this way, (thank you for the question)

the ability to forgive.. to be grateful… and to see the roses among the thorns, being positive, hopeful, optimistic.

something I receive freely… feels good… it’s feels like a meaningfully experience… (if it’s I did this for you and therefore you do this for me, it feels different, but thats ok, it works, it makes the world go round)… but it feels good to give and receive in a simple way.

I can contribute by being in the “great fullness”… accepting what is… aiming to be a helpful friendly compassionate happy and calm… best wishes to all.

the early hours of the morning… because my mind is still… the whole world feels still…

my nervousness of public speaking, and playing guitar and singing in front of people… (I can let it go, I hold it in me, it’s mine to let go of)

in my behaviour… warmer… calmer… I move differently… I tend to be more upright.

Responsibility… this word reminds me to respond with ability… how grateful I show up in the world depends on the quality of how I respond… respond, don’t simple react I tell myself and it helps me. Best Wishes to all.

By being fully Alive… Aliveness is the Go in the stop, look, and go.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go out and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive”
I like this quote “Perhaps, the most important thing in the world is the love we give to ourselves and others”

I would taste to the full every moment. Every moment would increase in value, and savoured. Therefore I’d live this day well, fully, deeply. I like this question. Best Wishes to all.

I can embrace imperfection with unconditional love. It requires unconditional acceptance of myself and others. Best Wishes to all.

Seeing my wife for the first time. Reaching up and experiencing something mystical in Yoga. These memories remind me of the wonder of it all. And looking out to sea and not seeing where the sea became sky.

I’ve learned, (or realised) as an introvert a simple life is the best life for me.

I’ve noticed kindness in this moment can be like a ball rolling into the next moment.

I learned from my parents that Honesty and Compromise are key aspects of being with someone

meeting halfway, we have moved together with honesty and compromise knowing that all Truths are but half Truths.

Yes, persistence will win the day

I believe our first responsibility is to ourselves, do what feels feels good… there’s a fear of staying put… there’s a fear of change… a book called ’Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway’ that might help you… it’s helped me.
