The essence of enlightenment … is a big understanding, which gives you a deep and wide perspective to see the world as a whole, and a capacity to accept with compassion all that is. 11/26

Recalibration of the mind means clearing our perceptions and recovering our capacity for pure observation.

Attention has its most powerful expression in purposeful action.

It's a wonderful paradox: only when you have a changeless sense of who you are, can real changes take place. It is the ground of your absolute value and everything that is truly worthwhile.

Observing is not just seeing. It is watching with attention.

With the muscle of integrity, we can turn intention into powerful action. That's how we can earn trust form our conscience, and can truly believe in ourselves.

By balancing your breathing, you can control your emotions and calm your mind. From the quiet mind arises the wisdom and insight that help you make good choices.

When we acknowledge our greatness and start living it, when we open our hearts to the natural kindness and caring for all beings that resides within us, all these necessary transformations can begin.

If you say one thing, and do something different, how can your conscience trust you? Self-trust comes from integrity.

. . . when you are stressed, if you take three deep breaths before you say or do anything, this will help prevent you from making choices you might regret later.

Conscience is the manifestation of our divine nature, the absolute truthfulness that we all have inside, that resides beyond the instinctive desire to survive.

Never would I allow my size to define me. Instead I would define it.

I want to be someone making music/with my coming.

I, Geric-Sinath of Gerhard, declare that you're beautiful and you're perfect and I'll slay any man who tries to take you from my side. Goose girl, may I kiss you?

My main focus is on becoming a new mom and giving the best of myself to my husband and growing baby.

...the most important things we need to manage can't be measured.
