Go sit in the corner.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still feel the sting of hearing my Mom say that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t need to sit in any corner.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time out was a punishment. It&amp;rsquo;s no wonder we try to &lt;em&gt;push through&lt;/em&gt; everything: we don&amp;rsquo;t have time for &lt;em&gt;time out.&lt;/em&gt; Time out suggests we&amp;rsquo;re not in control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sitting in the corner is good &lt;em&gt;medicine&lt;/em&gt; for the insanity of our lives and world. Our negative reaction to it is a hand-me-down from our past. We never want to be told &lt;em&gt;time out.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Finding Wisdom Beyond Desperation</title><link>https://worldwidestew.com/blog/2025-02-25-finding-wisdom-beyond-desperation/</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:06:18 +0000</pubDate><author>worldwide@worldwidestew.com (Michael Davis)</author><guid>https://worldwidestew.com/blog/2025-02-25-finding-wisdom-beyond-desperation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;When we lead from wisdom, we must first recognize when desire transforms into craving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My vision for creating meaningful mindfulness opportunities keeps me motivated, but I&amp;rsquo;ve noticed how easily genuine passion can transform into an anxious urgency—a shift that rarely allows for clear discernment or thoughtful decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operating from desperation narrows our vision. It tempts us toward shortcuts, clouds our understanding, and blinds us to others&amp;rsquo; authentic motives and needs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
