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

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.

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

Training attention through meditation opens our eyes.

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest; it never ceases.

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

Kindness is really at the core of what it means to be and feel alive.

The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That’s a fact but one we fight.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

Fear is a great signal. It’s like a pain signal. Hey, look at me, look at me. Get your focus right over here, at the pain.

You have comfort. You don’t have luxury. And don’t tell me that money plays a part. The luxury I advocate has nothing to do with money. It cannot be bought. It is the reward of those who have NO Fear or Discomfort.

A man that is not afraid of a Lion is afraid of a Cat .

An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose.

Pain is Pain. Broken is Broken. FEAR is the Biggest Disability of all. And will PARALYZE you More Than Being in a Wheelchair.

Fear is a bigger disability than having no arms and no legs.

Openness doesn’t come from resisting our fears but rather from getting to know them well.
