Living means getting out and doing things. And like a sliding scale the more we put into it the more we live. It also means quality if we are truly experience the best that we are able. But, remember too that balance is required. Swinging too far in either direction can result in disaster. Find your balance and keep it, in that moment is where you can find your paradise.

Do we then just let people hurt us? No! We do what we can. And our goal remains to do well and reach out for what we value (or is important to us.) Don't allow our goal to be someone else's consequences. There is little if any long-term joy in that for us. Pain is real and it comes from caring
Continue to care, feel pain but NOT suffering.

When those inevitable thought blockers show up. Connect with that moment, collect your focus (letting go of the blocker) and continue to move. With practice this only takes a moment.

That's not just psychoanalytic. This is the way the brain works. Our job is to choose who we are going to listen to.
