Today on your bFM Breakfast: We made it to July in this strange year, and what a beautiful morning it is; Rob joins us with some interesting findings about Stonehenge, and a poem; Tim talks local and international media news; and Amelia talks about words that originated from Hindu and Urdu. Happy July!
"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." This notion that the obstacles that prevent us from achieving our goals can be used—and in some cases may even be necessary—to achieve those very goals seems not just Pollyanna-like but also paradoxical.
One of the most useful concepts that demonstrate this is the concept of changing poison into medicine. That is, from the Buddhist perspective, all people are endowed with the innate ability to create value out of any situation, no matter how awful or tragic. Unlike the idea that every cloud has a silver lining—that something positive can always be found in everything negative—the principle of changing poison into medicine explains that we can transform even the most horrific tragedy into the very thing we need to become happier than we currently are.
