17 min.    Maureen and Pierre discuss the question:  do things happen to you or for you?  How do we respond to life experiences? Maureen bring up Don Miguel Ruiz's work and book:  The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom come up.  Agreement 1: be impeccable with your word, Agreement 2: don't take things personally, Agreement 3: Don't Make Assumptions, Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best.  Pierre discusses Socrates: and evaluates man's most dangerous trait.  Discussion returns to pausing and the need to develop regulatory control of our physio-emotional triggers in conversation and life. Using life's journey as a learning tool, or Landscape for Learning - hat tip to Maureen.
