In this "Lessons" episode, Cory Muscara, former monk and mindfulness teacher, shares profound insights from his experience of six months in silent meditation. He explores why humans are wired to think about the future and how this tendency can create both opportunities and anxiety. Cory explains how to distinguish ambitions rooted in fear from those inspired by joy, and why many of our life decisions unknowingly stem from wounds rather than wholeness. He also offers practical ways to cultivate presence, align choices with our deepest values, and build a life grounded in clarity rather than control.
