From the FLS archives:

FLS Internal Link. Being Kind: The world needs more kindness. We get lost in problem solving; but neglect the obvious, more kindness would solve many of the problems.

Loving someone includes respect; respect of their space, privacy, and freedom. Sometimes loving requires painful good-byes

Internal Link. Accepting Life on Its Terms: We stress over the hardships; but life is what is. It always will have troublesome moments. Happiness comes and goes; just as sorrows. Once we accept these inevitable truths, the impact of troubles diminishes.

Change by its very nature is difficult. We easily follow current trajectories. To change of course zaps energy, draining resources,and feels uncomfortable. Change creates immediate anxiety; but healthy change invites future relief.

We are in the process of becoming, not through some fantastic event; but through a series of choices. Greatness is born from consistently and patiently making the right choices.

We lose control of our lives when we act without deeper contemplations. Impulses misguide, leading to chaotic survival and ego feeding action. We must live consciously to escape these deadly pitfalls.

With grit, we can work ourselves through some problems, other problems persist, and others we need to abandon, close a door and wait for new opportunities to arrive.

Flourishing is a skill; a pattern of living that gives to life, betters futures, and improves societies. We learn these skills through mindful attention to action.

Internal Link. Refuse to give up on Love- The hurt of broken love lingers, creating new difficulties and interfering protections. We can overcome these barriers and love again.

A powerful punch may win the argument but at the cost of damaging the relationship.

FLS Internal Link. Selfish or Selfless: Individuals and societies need attention. A society of individuals completely self focused crumbles. An individual completely dedicated to the group, ignoring personal needs dissolves into the mass. We need a healthy balance.
