It’s Not Personal, Really: How to Rise Above the Negativity of Others
How do you react when a friend’s bluntness hurts your feelings, or when a disgruntled boss speaks to you in a rude manner?
For many of us, we often can’t help but take others negative reactions to us personally – leaving us feeling a mixture of confusion, resentment, or that we’re being misunderstood.
However, in truth, this is where we’re often the ones misreading the situation.
In this interview with Oprah, don Miguel Ruiz, acclaimed author of The Four Agreements, discusses the second “Agreement” from his book – how to not take things personally.
In the video, he reminds us that we’re not always the “secondary character” of everyone’s world (something we often forget!), and that we can’t control or change people (and nor should we try).

Are You Living by the Real Secret to a Joyful Life?
“There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There’s only us. There’s only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today.” – Jonathan Larson
When our minds become stuck in the past, or are anxiously projecting into the future, we’re missing the experience of the current reality that exists: the present moment.
In this short video, the late Alan Watts reminds us that happiness can only exist in this very moment – so cherish it.
Timeless wisdom that never fails to resonate, wouldn’t you agree?

Brain can be trained in compassion, study shows
See on Scoop.it – Living Business
A new study by researchers at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows that adults can be trained to be more compassionate. The report, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, investigates whether training adults in compassion can result in greater altruistic behavior and related changes in neural systems underlying compassion.
“Our fundamental question was, ‘Can compassion be trained and learned in adults? Can we become more caring if we practice that mindset?'” says Helen Weng, lead author of the study and a graduate student in clinical psychology. “Our evidence points to yes.”

Silence on this Day
Thank you to all the veterans in my life! Regardless of how I feel about war and aggression, I’m still grateful for those who have served so that my family and I can have the freedoms we do…
I found today’s editorial message in the NY Times to poignantly yet beautifully capture the spirit of today.
“If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the silence at the heart of Memorial Day — the inward turn that thoughts take on a day set aside to honor the men and women who have died in the service of this country.
It is the silence of soldiers who have not yet been, and may never be, able to talk about what they learned in war, the silence of grief so familiar that it feels like a second heartbeat. This is a day for acknowledging, publicly, the private memorial days that lie scattered throughout the year, a day when all the military graves are tended to, even the ones that someone tends to regularly as a way of remembering.
It always seems strange the way the fond, sober gestures of memory…
