“Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.”

We have the power to improve our work lives immeasurably through awareness, compassion, patience & ingenuity.

When we learn to respond to disappointments with acceptance, we give ourselves the space to realize that all our experiences—good and bad alike—are opportunities to learn and grow.

Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.

The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear and jealousy.

It is awareness of both our shared pain and our longing for happiness that links us to other people and helps us to turn toward them with compassion.

Let the breath lead the way.

Even as we recognize our resentment, bitterness, or jealousy, we can also honor our own wish to be happy, to feel free.

Its never too late to take a moment to look.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

When you recognize and reflect on even one good thing about yourself, you are building a bridge to a place of kindness and caring.

The movement of the heart as we practice generosity in the outer world mirrors the movement of the heart when we let go of conditioned views about ourselves on our inner journey. Letting go creates a joyful sense of space in our minds

Only when we start to distinguish reality from fantasy that we can humbly, with eyes wide open, forge loving and sustainable connections with others.

Sometimes kindness is stepping aside, letting go of our need to be right & just being happy for someone.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

We’re capable of much more than mediocrity, much more than merely getting by in this world.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

I am welcoming a new phase of life with confidence in my potential to progress in spite of my fears.

You are greater than any lie fear will tell you. Believe it, seek it.

I always wanted to feel it all. From the chaos of a thunderstorm to the touch of the wind. Both adrenaline and calm, fear and bravery.

Today I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.

Some night I fear going to sleep as I know I’ll have to wake to dread the dawn of a new day cause I don’t know how much more this soul of mine can take.

Find yourself a friend who asks about your dreams and aspirations, your fears and insecurities.

If fear, pain, doubt, and money are barriers. Only YOU can change that. YOU have the power to stop holding yourself back.

This fearless heart is trapped between these anxious walls of my worried mind.
