“Things do fall apart. It is in their nature to do so. When we try to protect ourselves from the inevitability of change, we are not listening to the soul. We are listening to our fear of life and death, our lack of faith, our smaller ego's will to prevail. To listen to the soul is to stop fighting with life-to stop fighting when things fall apart, when they don't go our way, when we get sick, when we are betrayed or mistreated or misunderstood. To listen to the soul is to slow down, to feel deeply, to see ourselves clearly, to surrender to discomfort and uncertainty, and to wait.” WayFeelsTryingSoulFallFightingWaitingListeningProtectEgoSickSurrenderUncertaintyLife And DeathBetrayedFalling ApartSlow DownMisunderstoodDiscomfortInevitabilityFears Of LifeMistreatedLack Of Faith Author:Elizabeth Lesser

“It's incredibly easy as a director to be egotistical. Of course, it is because you have 200 people on set every day listening to your every word and whatever you say goes, and that can be slightly corrupting. And actually, to be a good director, you have to take ego out of it, because hopefully what you've done is surrounded yourself with brilliant people. Let them be brilliant and you just shepherd that and marshal that and hopefully guide it however you can, but definitely not to the extent that you're overbearing.” PeopleDoneCoursesEasyListeningDirectorsEgoGuidesBrilliantHopefullyShepherdsEgotisticalGood DirectorsOverbearingWhatever You Say Author:Dan Mazer

“We spend our lives getting caught up in all the wrong things--led astray by our minds, our egos, seeing ourselves as separate from each other, rather than listening to the truth that lies within our own hearts, the truth that we are all connected, we are all in it together.” MindHeartTogetherLyingOur LivesSeeingListeningEgoCaughtConnectedCaught UpWrong Things Author:Alyson Noel
