These are fantastic, I adore each one. The value of ourselves being in the hands of others or things we can't control is quite a painful thing, hard to overcome, but so absolutely necessary. Still working on this one.
I have a background in psychology (now retired), so these are familiar, but always always helpful to be reminded of. I could comment on each one, but won't make my answer THAT long 😏... #4 is a really good one for people to recognize. Recently a question was posed in another newsletter "What was something important you learned from your parent/s?" My answer was connected to #2 --- both of my parents were always community volunteers, so I learned that & I've now been, for my entire adult life, a voluteer in a variety of organizations --- as I said, I'm now retired, so that's many years of volunteering & I still do so, about 25 hours a month. I love it & love what the organization does for the community, enjoy others I volunteer w/ & even in these divisive times most of us have no idea what political party we're interested in.
Thank you for this consistent strategy. It is valid and guiding for human being and acting (Wisdom).
I'm certain you know that you are far ahead of other beings, understanding and living this perspective, also. Only a very limited number of individuals, will after patiently listening and digesting this philosophy peacefully incorporate and act accordingly, henceforth.
It takes full assimilation of positive virtues and without fail acceptance of negative virtues encompassing. Humanity is remaining full of failure. Repetitive practice with changes happening daily is obligatory. Loving acceptance of faultiness is mandatory.
This complexity is obvious to me when, I myself, explain to my counterparts. Momentarily understanding, however failing to amalgamate, after all.
We still need to patiently teach, coach and practise, being a sand grain in the Universe.
Thus finding lasting happiness by serving others for one's own eternal benefit.
Affirmation with you and some other individuals following this path is helpful.

glad you enjoyed!
Brilliantly written, Alex! Every one landed for me. My favorite, except of course I missed the "z" 😄
"Joy comes from recognising that you are enough, and confidence is built on celebrating progress over perfection."
I also appreciated your 2-cup ask at the end. Nice!
thanks Donna!
I enjoyed this book. Made a lot of sense. It's great to have your succint summing up - the crux!
my pleasure
How can I access the untethered mind course?
Adler is very interesting, I had forgotten his philosophy, it aligns to a degree with Eckhart Tolle and Buddhism.
sorry - i had to re-add the course link to the article again. It's here: https://alexmathers.co/untethered-mind/
That sounds like a terrific book! Thank you for sharing, Alex.
well worth it!
I just started reading it. Your article made me wanted to finish it in a day! Thank you so much! Back to reading!
I regularly re-read it. Enjoy!

cheers!
