“Seize the moment” is trite and pervasive wisdom. But if we observe our thoughts we’ll find that most of the time we are future-planning or past-regretting. This creates anxiety over what may (or may not) come to pass, or disappointment over what already did. Cliche or not, it makes sense to remind yourself multiple times per day to be centered, present, and essentially…where you are.

One thing I enjoy doing is distilling complex ideas into actionable concepts. That is in fact one of the objectives of this blog. No matter how much you read or how many opinions you consider, in the end, you’ll have to decide what to do with all of it.

Since not everyone’s brain works in a way that allows them to simplify, here are some questions you can ask – preferably to the most knowledgeable experts – to extract something actionable: 1) Given all that you know…what action would you encourage me to take? 2) What do you think is the risk of not taking that action?

Anger is a useful emotion if we need to physically defend ourselves. Outside of that, nothing good comes of it. Regardless of how warranted it is, you’re not affecting the subject of your anger. To paraphrase the historical Buddha: Anger is a hot coal that you hold onto while waiting to throw at someone. Let it go for your own well-being.
