A year that asks for patient courage, gentle discipline and mastery of your reactions.

The theme of the year

A year that asks for patient courage, gentle discipline and mastery of your reactions.

True mastery comes from calm compassion rather than brute force. Meet fear and wild impulses with steady, loving patience.

Focus on

Build one steady habit and treat yourself kindly while you do it.

Watch out for

Suppressing feelings until they burst out.

A reminder

Meet what is wild — in others or yourself — with calm and kindness.
