Great thoughts- indeed, if I didn't practice all three of these points, I can't imagine how I would survive each and every day!!
2) has caused me problems in the past, and sometimes still today. Working on them always. Thought not always as effectively as I'd like--or as swiftly. Methinks it's one reason why I've taken up yoga recently--for the daily reminders to let stuff go.
Two has caused me problems in the past as well, though I seem to be getting better about that with time. As I read what you (and Christopher) had written, I was reminded of a line from one of Carrie Newcomer's songs which has always rung true for me "mistake by mistake we all learn to be kind."
