Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

ever created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

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 are fortunate 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, well apart from anything else, it's another moment that we're alive.
