+1: #427 Tibetan Word for “Guilty”

Description: Do you know what the Tibetan word for “guilty” is?   Trick question!   There ISN’T a word for “guilty” in Tibetan.   According to Geshe Michael Roach in his great book The Diamond Cutter: “There’s no word in Tibetan for ‘guilty.’ The closest thing is intelligent regret that decides to do things differently.’”   I like that.   “Intelligent regret that decides to do things differently.”   Isn’t that a wonderful upgrade from “guilty” (and its first cousins “shame” and “defensiveness”)?   Make a mistake?   All good. Part of being human. No need to catastrophize or make excuses.   Just capitalize the mis-take, apply a little “Needs work!” and “That’s NOT like me!” to your Optimizing experience and carry on.   So… Today’s +1.   Are you feeling any “guilt” about anything?    (Yah? What pops up for you?)   Can you add a dropperful of Tibetan “intelligent regret that decides to do things differently” to it?   Fantastic. Repeat as necessary.    btw: I have a whole pantry full of that essential supplement and you’re welcome to stop by and grab as much of it as you’d like.   (Oh… And… Let’s do this!)
