To be alive is to be on a lifelong mission of learning. That means that we will have regrets, mistakes, failures, setbacks and difficult challenges in our lives. While we think our past determines our present, it's actually how we relate to our past that matters. In today's YouTube video, I talk about how we can change our relationship with a difficult past. I share ways we can reframe our pain, reframe the present moment, and rediscover the beauty that is all around us so that being present becomes natural and effortless. ------------ If you would like to support our PEACEFUL PRISONERS PROGRAM which sends life-changing books to prisons across America, please go to https://www.eastwesticism.org/fundraising-for-prisoners/ to learn how.
