When did you stop learning?
Does education stop somewhere between your teens and late twenties? The question on how to educate kids is a recurrent one. With people who have kids themselves, with others working with kids, remembering how it was to be young or considering how they’ll deal with it once they will have children of their own. And…

Too late?
“I wish I knew, when I was 21!” I know it now and I see how much struggle and pain I could have spared myself if I could have only known a little earlier. “If I could have only known since the beginning.” And then I have a conversation with someone twice or three times…

Radical Acceptance.
The books I read: “Radical Acceptance” by Tara Brach. “We may spend our lives seeking something that is actually right inside us, and could be found if we would only stop and deepen our attention.

5 minutes a day are 30 hours a year.
“If only a week had 10 days” and “If I could add a few more hours into the day” Who isn’t guilty of thinking or saying something in those lines out loud at least a few times in their life? Doing more. We always feel like we have to do more of everything. More work,…

Focus and Freedom : How do you create your life?
Where do you set your priorities? How do you create your life? Focus on less and focus on it better. Not in these words, but with the same meaning, is one thing Marcus Aurelius mentions in his meditations. He has a point, of course he does, one that resonates with me. And maybe with you…
