whether within ourselves or in front of someone who is close to us, vulnerability asks for non-judgmental acceptance of our imperfections. - Yung Pueblo

when we disconnect from our pain we stop growing when we are dominated by our pain we stop growing freedom is observing our pain letting it go and moving forward (middle path)

is easier to let go of someone’s opinion of you when you understand that others see you through a combination of their past conditioning and their current emotional state without realizing it, they see themselves first, and through that lens they get an unclear picture of you

our anticipation of the future gets in the way of our awareness of the present.
