To do that, you have to... You know this for a fact, right? The mind is built from repetition. The body's built from repetition, right? You eat tons of unhealthy food, eventually you get unhealthy. You eat a bunch of healthy food, you're going to be a little healthier. The same thing with the mind.

When I go away to meditation courses and I'm meditating for 30, 45 days, I'm literally just taking myself to the mental gym and I'm cultivating three qualities.

Yeah, it's a lot of time in the gym. But either way, you still have to rely on repetition. I think that's the difficulty with our society nowadays is that all these apps that we have access to in our phones, all of them are trying to just make life easier, make everything faster, easier. And they're very sort of connected towards increasing pleasure in the body.

we have to realize that our personal transformation and resolving the issues in our relationships these are very gradual slow things like the best parts of life they're quite slow and they're related to the present moment and so it's almost working against the culture that we're given that we're being fed and embracing the fact that even if you don't meditate even if you don't even see a therapist you can be

aware of what you're good at and what you're not good at. I think one thing that became clear even before I started meditating was when I started being with my wife, like I realized I'm not good at listening. I need to bring my attention back every time my mind goes off somewhere and I'm thinking about how to respond.

Instead, let me calmly bring my attention back to whatever it is that she's saying. And through that, you can train yourself. And I think when we realize, you know, what are you not good at?

Whomever you're in proximity to, especially if there's someone that you really care about, there are going to be moments of disagreement. The key way to solve arguments is totally related on a specific type of compassion. the compassion to pull yourself out of your perspective and see the perspective of another person. That requires deep listening, selfless listening.

That requires me making sure that even though I feel heated in this moment, I am going to take the time to listen to how the series of events move for you, for you to end up feeling this way.
