13. Don’t get caught in self-importance, but listen with a peaceful mind.

If you had to hold on to one piece of advice and throw away the other 41, then I think it would be this one. Listen to today's commentary to hear why the (seemingly unimportant?) quality of self-importance is at the root of all unnecessary drama.

Also today, a bonus poem I thought might fit nicely with today's advice. About five years ago I spent most of a year up a mountain in the south of France as a guest here. One day, walking up a hill I had a bit of an epiphany. Not a whole one - just a bit. I went back down the hill, found a pad and wrote and wrote and wrote. It turned into the poem at the bottom of this page. You can download it as a pdf - or I've also recorded a version of it for you to listen to.
