Do you know what the source of conflict in most relationships are? Having opinions about things that you just don’t need to have opinions about. Think about it. Whether it’s with your spouse, your parents, your kids… how many fights have come from having an opinion about something that doesn’t affect you at all? Did you need to have an opinion on the way they do their hair? And so what if they like music that sounds weird to you? Their friends are their friends…what does it matter what you think of them? Marcus Aurelius talked about this. “Things are not asking to be judged by you,” he writes in his Meditations. “Remember, you always have the power to have no opinion.” Most things in life are better off without your judgment hovering over them.

An old man came up to me and said ‘It goes by fast, cherish it.’ Well, my daughter is 45 now. It goes by fast, cherish it.” It hit me hard. Lying in bed with my son this morning, looking at the photos from Father’s Day one year ago, I had a profound sensation that the old man was right. So now I pass along the message to all of you: Slow down, cherish it—it goes by fast.
