Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Tuesday morning.

So just recently I was thinking back to a time where I was asked what was the most important

thing that I had learned in the monastery and look there's so many different things.

It's always really hard to pick one but I tend to just say whatever kind of springs

to mind when I'm asked because I don't have a rehearsed answer in my mind of it was

A, B and C. I was talking at the time with, it's actually a group of young students and

the thing that immediately came to my mind.

I don't know if it was the best example necessarily but I said although it sounds paradoxical,

everything in life matters.

At the same time nothing in life matters that much at all.

It's a paradox and yet part of life is getting comfortable with that paradox.

Now for some of those students that really landed.

For some of the students they were like that makes no sense whatsoever, you know you're

contradicting yourself but there is something interesting in those two positions both being

relevant in our life and maybe not contradictory.

Maybe they can even complement on another when I look at my life and the people in my

life unfortunate to have.

There really isn't a moment where I can say it's not important.

There are definitely moments where I feel like I'm doing things that are more sort of

precious or important or something but actually every moment right.

It's another moment, we're apart from anything else, it's another moment that we're alive

but it's another moment to appreciate just being present, being here.
