What was natural and right? Who really knew? The world was never so simple that one person could have all the answers. He had fought this for so long. What would it be like to stop fighting? To accept what he was.

The Novice

at times thinking too much ends up getting no where. and at the end of the day still got to acknowledge that it's a complicated world we are in. is the norm always right? does being unacceptably different wrong? spectrum of subjective perspectives inevitably make it impossible to handle these questions. accept it. accept yourself.

went thru a meaningful coaching course these few days. had some new insights and will like to take this opportunity to share one i find significant.

realised i have weakness in self-management. i see the flaws in others but was blind to mine. hence i need to identify them & work towards improvement by adopting a positive attitude to correct them. in hope to benefit myself as well as those around me.

if we try to listen, we find it extraordinary difficult, because we are always projecting out opinions and ideas, our prejudices, our background.. when they dominate, we hardly listen at all to what is being said.. one listens and therefore learns, only in a state of attention, a state of silence, in which this whole background is in abeyance.. real communication can only take place where there is 'silence'.
