About this listen

In this episode I explore the tension between discipline and compassion in practices that create meaning and purpose in our lives. Finding balance between these seemingly opposing forces creates the conditions for sustainable growth while maintaining self-kindness.

• Discipline isn't about rigidity but rather making a decision and sticking to it—like a disciple following a teaching with devotion
• True discipline includes intentional rest as part of the practice
• Compassion isn't laziness or an excuse to quit when things get uncomfortable
• The middle way in Buddhism offers a framework for balance—like a perfectly tuned instrument string
• Growth happens in the nuanced space between pushing forward and knowing when to pause
