I am not my emotion

I recently started watching many TED Talks again and came across this one that’s extremely relevant to what I do – not only teach but also help students with their emotional and mental well-being. I have given similar advice on many issues that the adolescents I talk to have dealt with or are dealing with, especially about recognition, acceptance, and acknowledgment. We are sometimes so caught up in our emotions and feelings, which may be completely valid, that we do not have the clarity to make smart decisions – and that’s one of the hindrances that Master Shi Heng Yi talks about. Worth 18 minutes.

My passion is, has always been, and will probably always be traveling and experiencing different cultures. If I had one wish, it would be to be fluent in every single language in the world.
