“To offer our hearts in faith means recognizing that our hearts are worth something, that we ourselves, in our deepest and truest nature, are of value.”

Letting go is an inside job, something only we can do for ourselves.

Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you’re doing.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

Once we are honest about our feelings, we can invite ourselves to consider alternative modes of viewing our pain and can see that releasing our grip on anger and resentment can actually be an act of self-compassion.

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

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

Like water poured from one vessel to another, metta flows freely, taking the shape of each situation without changing its essence.

We cannot simply forgive and forget, nor should we.

Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self.

Pain & suffering requires time, awareness, and an intentional practice of self-love to disentangle.

Because the development of inner calm & energy happens completely within & isn’t dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful—and a huge relief.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope – a slight change, and all patterns alter.

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 doesn’t take courage to find peace in the arms of destiny. It takes faith.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Faith is trust or commitment to what you think is true.

I don’t need to see how, I just need to know you.

I always have faith that something’s going to happen good for you, and it going to happen.

May today be the day you step out in faith into this unknown, knowing you are never alone. For he promised to never leave you.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

Not the one who knows the most, but the one who loves faithfully and consistently the most, is a true follower of Jesus.
