this loss is too great- the pain so terrible
Being too self-centred can give rise to anxiety and depression. An effective antidote is to cultivate a sense of altruism, taking the whole of humanity into account. Appreciating the oneness of humanity leads us to recognise our essential equality as human beings.

Heard this today regarding the recruiting process from a D1 coach:
"How a player treats his parents matters an awful lot. If he shows lack of respect towards his parents we don't want him in our program - regardless of talent"
Read that 100 times.
Tackling destructive emotions and practicing loving-kindness is how we should live in the here and now. I am convinced we can become happier individuals, happier communities and a happier humanity by cultivating a warm heart, allowing our better selves to prevail.
A fundamentally positive approach is to take account of the oneness of humanity. Dividing the world into 'us' and 'them' might have worked in the past, but it doesn't any more. We have to talk through our problems with our opponents, thinking of them as our fellow human beings.
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. We want to remind you that struggling with a mental health issue does not mean you are weak or a failure. It means you are human.
