teaching teaches teacher

The bad news: I believe most people are well-adjusted, yet somewhat discontented with life. They've got some combination of jobs, homes, families and health perhaps, but are still unhappy overall. Nothing is good enough. There's always the quest for more. Most are searching for something outside of themselves to make them happy; to fill the void; to ease the pain (on the inside). Hence, the high prevalence of the many vices, devices, & distractions people employ to "escape."

The big questions are: What is the source of this pain? And is this source common to most of us? The "answers" will vary of course depending on who you talk to.

The good news: A lot of people successfully create lives that do not require escape. It appears that those who are content with, and have found serenity in their lives (regardless of the specific source of the serenity), are the richest people in the world because they have what everyone wants.

Sharing some hope and some tools to attain this contentment and serenity, while pursuing it yourself, is a noble life's work.

I've heard it said that "teaching, teaches, teacher" - and so it goes...

No one has all the answers... but I've found it serendipitous contributing to the conversation.

It's why I do what I do. Thanks very much for reading, and keep coming back.
