“Once you have a handle on loving yourself, you can practice sharing that love with others. You’ve probably been taught to reserve the language of love for when you’re feeling overwhelmingly tender and passionate, and only for those who have made huge commitments to you. We recommend instead learning to recognize and acknowledge all the sweet feelings that make life worthwhile even when they don’t knock you over—and, moreover, learning to communicate those feelings to the people who inspire them.” PeopleMadeFeelingsLanguagePracticeInspireTaughtSweetHugeCommitmentPassionateCommunicateHandleAcknowledgeWorthwhileReservesLoving YouLoving YourselfLanguage Of Love Author:Dossie Easton
“One practice I rely on all the time is basic meditation which allows me to strip away the noise. It's like the old-fashioned dial on the radio, where you were getting static and then you found that clear, sweet spot on the dial, where the music would come through. That's what meditation is for me. Dialling out the static, the noise, the anxiety, the fear, and coming into a place that's deep and quiet. It's like dropping into a well of inspiration and wisdom.” WellsInspirationFoundPracticeClearMeditationSweetQuietAnxietyRadioNoiseSpotsRelyOld FashionedDroppingStatic Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“The sweet spot: that productive, uncomfortable terrain located just beyond our current abilities, where our reach exceeds our grasp. Deep practice is not simply about struggling; it's about seeking a particular struggle, which involves a cycle of distinct actions.” ActionAbilityPracticeStruggleParticularSweetCurrentsSeekingSpotsUncomfortableProductiveCyclesExceedTerrain Book:The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born.

“Caste is a state of mind. It is a disease of mind. The teachings of the Hindu religion are the root cause of this disease. We practice casteism and we observe Untouchability because we are enjoined to do so by the Hindu religion. A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed.

“I don't think most people know how to meditate - they fall asleep and they call it meditation. I prefer a kind of sweet, deep, rich prayer in which a person goes in and says, Take me down deep into the reason you gave me life. Take me down deep. It silences the chaos in me. Take me away from my sense. I need to go away now, because I'm in chaos - take me down deep. Hover over me, because I need grace. I say that a lot, many times a day. So that's my practice.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsKindPersonsReasonFallPrayerSilencePracticeKnow HowRichGraceMeditationSweetChaosGoing AwayTake MeTake Me Away Author:Caroline Myss

“Everything was coming together by coming apart . . . It is the most difficult Zen practice to leave people to their destiny, even though it's painful - just loving them, and breathing with them, and distracting them in a sweet way, and laughing with them . . . if something was not my problem, I probably did not have the solution.” PeopleIfsWayProblemTogetherDifficultPracticeDestinyLaughingSweetSolutionsPainfulBreathingComing Together Author:Anne Lamott
