Great Teachers:
About twice a year I come across teachers that give me real practical value.
In 2020 It was Greg McKeown (Essentialism), Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits) both these leads came from the fabulous Justin Reid.
In 2021 apart from The Universe (take in a deep spiritual sigh at this kind of barefoot rhetoric J) it was

How Does It Affect My Practical Life?
- I found the Tao most beneficial and putting that practise into practice. I had not really delved into Taoism prior to this!
- The Tao to me- It was just like starting meditation it’s very hard, if I want to get good at “letting go” I have got to try it and try it every day. Instagram quotes are different to doing the work.
- If I want to believe in a universal force I must trust other people and not try to control shit that is out of my control. And actually let go of something….This is easier during meditation and especially Mettá.
- If I want to to move into effortless action I need to drop things that are not my purpose- So I always welcome a revisit to a chat on purpose.
