Good morning, happy Tuesday in the Year of the ZAO: Day 77.

Today’s lesson comes from the timeless wisdom of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff." We’re diving into the Buddhist teaching: “See the Glass as Already Broken (and Everything Else Too).” This perspective reminds us that nothing in life is permanent. Every beautiful object, every cherished moment, is destined to change or end—just like our favorite drinking glass.

By acknowledging that everything is transient, we free ourselves from the shock of inevitable loss. When your favorite glass shatters, you can simply appreciate the beauty of its existence rather than succumb to despair. It’s a call to live with gratitude, to celebrate the present, and to share that mindset with others.
