So often, we feel torn between striving for change and surrendering to what is. We can get stuck trying too hard, or give up entirely. 

So this week, I explore how to find a wise balance between deliberate intention and choiceless awareness, and how to grow lasting inner strengths like compassion, kindness, joy, and equanimity. These are qualities we can practice—not just admire.
