I agree completely, and thanks for this! Sometimes we need to delve deeply and be totally committed in order to master or get the most out of a situation. I think what’s important is to monitor yourself and ask whether moderation is needed or full commitment.

Hi Alex,

Excellent post. I have always found that there should be no moderation in love – the love we feel for our dear ones. I also don’t moderate joy. People say we should be happy or sad in moderation, but I cannot moderate happiness. When I am happy, I feel it powerfully in every fiber of my being, and I dance, sing and laugh aloud in my soul. I don’t moderate compassion – you can never be too kind. I also do not moderate dreams – my goals are always king-size. These help me to live fully and with passion.
Cheers,
Gayathri.

Thanks for the post Alex. Maybe there’s a paradox here. I was brought up in UK, so I grew up very polite, very proper etc, middle of the way.
But then when I was 18 or so I knew I wanted to find truth and freedom above anything, even my promising job as a London reporter. Parents were horrified. Saw a promising kid (and career) in ruins. But nothing would dissuade me and off to British Columbia I went with nothing but a sense of an inner call…
