The Importance of Recognizing Continuums

• Labeling one side of a continuum as bad and the other side as good is dangerous.
• People think they have a problem when they are not feeling happy or energized.
• Normal variations in the human condition exist on continuums.
• In order for there to be light, there must be darkness.
• In order for there to be good, there must also be bad.

The Power of Labeling

• Entrepreneurs must be careful about the things they label.
• People often ascribe positive and negative labels to things without understanding the ramifications.
• People create implied threats to themselves and the universe by using language patterns like "shoulds," "musts," and "needs."
• Language patterns are indications of broken thought patterns.
• People often define being human as the problem, which is why they suffer so much.

The Human Experience

• Being unhappy, tired, and stressed are normal variations in the human condition.
• Eliminating one side of the continuum can cause people to become numb to the human experience as a whole.
• People suffer because they feel like the way they are living is somehow wrong or bad.
• The human experience has peaks and troughs, and it is normal and okay.
• Creating a mental refrain can help people accept negative emotions without judgment.

The Power of Choice

• Between circumstance and response is choice.
• People have the power to choose how they respond to circumstances.
• Power is formed as humans by the choices they make between circumstance and response.
• Two people can be exposed to the same stimulus, but one person perseveres and the other does not because of the choices they make.
• Wisdom begins with a definition of terms, and most arguments or disagreements can be resolved if both people come to an agreement on terms.

Suffering is Optional

• Suffering is optional.
• People often want to decrease their emotional disturbances.
• Changing expectations about what being human really means can help people avoid suffering.
• Creating a mental refrain can help people accept negative emotions without judgment.
• People have control over the judgment they apply to the emotions they experience and the response they have as a result.

The Power of Labeling

• Defining terms is important in order to come to an agreement.
• Clear communication and thinking can be achieved by being clear about the words used.
• Emotional disturbances can be resolved by realizing that they were never problems to begin with, only that they were defined that way.
• People suffer because they choose to define their experience as suffering.
• Experiencing the full spectrum of the human experience is a life well-lived.
• Removing the judgment of self can help in being present for the experience and enjoying it for what it is.

The Middle Path

• The middle path is understanding both sides of the human experience and not saying either one is good or bad, but they just are.
• Removing the judgment of self can help in being present for the experience and enjoying it for what it is.
• Experiencing emotions is normal and part of being human.
• Creating suffering for ourselves by saying that there is a problem with simply existing during a period of time on a continuum can lead to long-standing problems.
• Experiencing the full spectrum of the human experience is a life well-lived.
• Being human is not wrong or bad.
