		<description><![CDATA[Accept whatever is. You cannot do otherwise. You can only imagine that you are resisting what is.
This comes from one of my mentors Dick Sutprhen. He quotes the Buddha when he says that all human problems arise from not accepting whatever is. As the serenity Prayer says, &#8220;Lord, grant me the courage to change what [...]]]></description>

The day before yesterday I went out to run some errands and potentially buy a more powerful computer for my project. The very first traffic light was red and it took much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing with responsibility series we get to humility and the power of don&#8217;t know. Again this is paradoxical when you are flexible and accept that you may be wrong, when you are humble and know that there is much that you don&#8217;t know, you act in a wiser more responsible manner.

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing our series on responsibility we get to acceptance of whatever is. We defined responsibility as the ability to respond to whatever is. Therefor you may think that acceptance is the opposite of responsibility. However, acceptance is not passive but the first stage to change. It appears contradictory but it is in reality a paradox [...]]]></description>
