Habit Hack Episode 18.

Not Perfect. Not Permanent. Not Personal.

So many things that we try to accumulate and have and be, are actually not perfect, not permanent, and not personal.

That is my reflection and mantra for today, and I am just sharing it with you. Because, maybe part of the reason that we suffer* is that we expect things to be something that they can never be.

Maybe certainty should be a point of skepticism. Maybe a moment of not knowing can be the most beautiful moment, because really, we don't know anything, ever, at any time. Period. Maybe that is freeing.

I think of a key element in Zen-
"Great doubt- great enlightenment".
And, I have always thought of enlightenment as, lightening up.

So, here we are, in moments of not knowing, and moments of light...
Not Perfect. Not Permanent. Not Personal.

Be well. Lighten it up!

*suffer can encompass a broad range, from mild irksome things to really awful experiences. As we become more sensitive to the suffer, we also have a increased capacity to be with things that are uncomfortable.
