Posted by Rex Alexander on Thu 12 Feb 26 in Acceptance, Ask Rex, Perfectionism, Self esteem, self vs. behavior, Success & Achievement, Task Perfection vs. Self Perfection, USA with Comments closed |

Mindfulness. If you are looking for definition of mindfulness that
1. Most people agree on,
2. Makes sense if you have never practiced,

This great quote that I have been sharing for years is NOT by the legendary Bruce Lee, or by anyone elese we can identify! Click for the full story.


You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means that everyone else can control you. Breath and allow things to pass.”
