Description

Within a series of episodes on happiness, we look at how to de-stress. First, we can become mindful of emptiness as an antidote to stress. We can also try to “always do our best” to loosen the grip that busyness has on us and become less attached to outcomes. To always do our best can also mean that we look honestly at where our own ethics or beliefs don't line up with our actions. For a happier and more peaceful life, we can become mindful of emptiness and practice always doing our best.    Ah, so happily we live,  Without ambition among those with ambition.  Among people who are ambitious  We live without ambition.
