MNDFL-ABC - AWARE-JUST BEING-CHOOSE RESPONSE
mindful, remember ABC:
A is for awareness – becoming more aware of what you’re thinking and doing and what’s
going on in your mind and body.
B is for ‘just being’ with your experiences – avoiding the tendency to respond on auto-pilot
and feed problems by creating your own story.
C is for choice – by seeing things as they are you can choose to respond more wisely – by
creating a gap between an experience and your reaction you can step out pilot which opens up
a world of new possibilities.

DECISIONS
Another common problem you may encounter is that, although you may think that your decisions
and actions are always based on present-moment facts, in reality they rarely are. Making decisions
based on your brain’s prediction of the future (which is usually based on your past experiences
and unique brain wiring) is common. In addition, you see with your brain; in other words, your
brain acts as a filter to incoming information from the eyes and picks out what it thinks is
important. The problem with all the above is that you routinely make decisions and act without full
possession of the facts. What happened in the past will not necessarily happen now; your
predictions about the future could be inaccurate, leading to inappropriate responses and actions

FLR-HOW WHAT WHY
The 3 Stages of Failure in Life and Work (And How to Fix Them)
One of the hardest things in life is to know when to keep going and when to move on.
On the one hand, perseverance and grit are key to achieving success in any field. Anyone who masters their craft will face moments of doubt and somehow find the inner resolve to keep going. If you want to build a successful business or create a great marriage or learn a new skill then “sticking with it” is perhaps the most critical trait to possess.
On the other hand, telling someone to never give up is terrible advice. Successful people give up all the time. If something is not working, smart people don’t repeat it endlessly. They revise. They adjust. They pivot. They quit. As the saying goes, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Life requires both strategies. Sometimes you need to display unwavering confidence and double down on your efforts. Sometimes you need to abandon the things that aren’t working and try something new. The key question is: how do you know when to give up and when to stick with it?
One way to answer this question is to use a framework I call the 3 Stages of Failure.
- Stage 1 is a Failure of Tactics. These are HOW mistakes. They occur when you fail to build robust systems, forget to measure carefully, and get lazy with the details. A Failure of Tactics is a failure to execute on a good plan and a clear vision.
- Stage 2 is a Failure of Strategy. These are WHAT mistakes. They occur when you follow a strategy that fails to deliver the results you want. You can know whyyou do the things you do and you can know how to do the work, but still choose the wrong what to make it happen.
- Stage 3 is a Failure of Vision. These are WHY mistakes. They occur when you don’t set a clear direction for yourself, follow a vision that doesn’t fulfill you, or otherwise fail to understand why you do the things you do.

SUN-MOON-BIOLF
Our Moon had far more responsibility in keeping Earth habitable than early life. Our moon keeps the core turning, and that generates our magnetic field. Neither Venus or Mars have any appreciable magnetosphere. Without that, the other two planets are bombarded by various high-level radiations that most likely killed off any microbial life.

To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past, or responsibly plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow your self to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. – Thich Nhat Hanh

ZEN FLOWER
A flower cannot be by herself alone. To be empty is not a negative note… A flower is empty only of a separate self, but a flower is full of everything else. The whole cosmos can be seen, can be identified, can be touched, in one flower. So to say that the flower is empty of a separate self also means that the flower is full of the cosmos.
ZEN- RT 5 SWIPES-LT 5 SWIPES-CLEANING DISHES
The idea of Zen is to catch life as it flows. There is nothing extraordinary or mysterious about Zen. I raise my hand; I take a book from the other side of the desk; I hear the boys playing ball outside my window; I see the clouds blown away beyond the neighboring wood — in all these I am practicing Zen, I am living Zen. No wordy discussion is necessary, nor any explanation… When the sun rises the whole world dances with joy and everybody’s heart is filled with bliss. If Zen is at all conceivable, it must be taken hold of here.
