To be "transcendent" means not only to acknowledge that there are things in the world that are bigger than me (for example, God and gravity) but to live for the larger things -- which means having the humility to yield to these higher ideals.
Up to that point in my life, I had thought of hardships as inexplicable events happening to me and others and viewed strength as the ability to endure these unwanted circumstances. Such endurance is certainly a strength.

Greetings from Las Vegas, where I've landed in the midst of a perfect storm for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The main elements of this perfect storm are disruptive technology, our dysfunctional health care system, and the growing desire people have to take control of their own health and well-being. And it's powered by our growing awareness of the destructive power and tremendous cost of stress in our lives. That's why HuffPost is rolling out GPS for the Soul, a new app that's part of our comprehensive lifestyle coverage around the theme "Less Stress, More Living." And it's why this year's CES has the potential to be one of the most transformative ever. There's a significant change in attitude about what role technology can, and should, be playing in our lives -- from the growing prevalence of mindfulness practices in the workplace to the robust market of wearable devices providing biofeedback. Here's hoping the perfect storm on display this week in Las Vegas leads to sunnier days everywhere.

Compassion and gratitude are the two most powerful states for me to be truly connected. Living with compassion and being grateful are essential in caring for the things that matter and connecting with people on the journey.
This week's poem is about what we hear in the spaces between all the noise. All meditation practices and all beginnings of art start with such a listening.
"The people who inspire me most are those who are willing to see the world from a loving perspective. People who perceive obstacles as opportunities and problems as spiritual assignments. People who choose love."
