Remove "comfort zone" from your lexicon
Only this moment right now, right here, good, bad, that's frames of mind, being content, every breath that you take, every breath that I take is that celebration of life. That's gratitude. Gratitude even for the disappointment, the sadness, the impatience, gratitude for all of those little things. And as she wrote in here under Contentment practicing gratitude protects us from our own pettiness and smallness and keeps us centered in the joy and abundance of our own life
And so then there's a different takeaway that could happen because he used the word aggression. And so I'm curious, like in this particular case, let's say that you say they can coexist, but you want to use different terminology. What is something that you would use that could be for the most part understood to sort of convey the same idea?
I thought it was funny when you were like, I don't want to use evaluation. That's not right. But I mean, the consideration of that there isn't it's the idea of taking away your preference. Comfort zone, in a lot of cases, talks to us, talks about a preference. Like these are our preferences. And I think when people say, oh, I had to step outside of my comfort zone, they make it seem like it was a departure from their life

Like, would you use that language or would you see a problem with that as well? Maybe I'll take away the word problem and just say, is it a word you would remove from your lexicon or no?
That's a very interesting question. As I sat and thought about the use of higher self, I had never really had an opinion on that phrase up until you just posed it to me. But I do take things, things like higher self. For me, I'm not a lower self now. I'm not less of less than self right now. Can we all continue to grow and learn? Sure
And the other thing is too, is that in describing this higher self, then it's almost unachievable, right? Because whatever you're describing as higher Self today, let's say you grow and however that plays out and you reach what you originally described as higher Self, you're going to have a new higher self idea, right? I mean, that's overly simplistic and reductive and broad strokes there, but you get the idea, right?
