Given my path as a monk in three orders spanning 40 years, living in 23 different countries with approximately 350K feedback forms from participants in classes, retreats, workshops, seminars . . . Nick's headline caught my attention . . .

Nick's summary:

1. Get curious about your own mind. 100% alignment with both my varied instructor's wisdom and life outcomes . . .

2. Ask for feedback (and take it well). I observe (versus ask) for feedback. Aligns more closely with #1 above and #3 below.

3. Observe your emotions without judgment. 100% alignment with both my varied instructor's wisdom and life outcomes . . .

4. Be realistic with your expectations. I observe any desire to give birth to an expectation of any sort. To date I've yet to experience a healthy, positive result of even the simplest expectation.

All the above for what it’s worth . . . .
