Do your best

We often heard do your best but how do we really do our best? This came into my mind after I listened to a podcast series. The podcast channel name is Strangers and my boss recommended this podcast to me. We listened to it on our way back to office and I became hooked into it since.

Freeing up our heart space

I heard this terminology from a talk quite a while ago. I didn’t really get what it mean until recently. To give some background about the speaker, he’s a monk and sometimes he has to give counseling to his people. People who has session with him, will throw all their concerns to him.
