 Right now, many of us feel an immense shift in the way humans live in this world. That shift, while benevolent, comes from within, rather than from our culture. That means your inner compass will inevitably tell you to break society’s expectations. Maybe that’s happening right now. If not, wait a few minutes. It’s coming.

 Letting life lead IS so very creative–and kind, each and every moment. The voices of ego would have us believe everything has to be huge, special, and larger than life (a fascinating expression), but when we’re truly HERE, we realize that the simplest expression is divinity itself.

 Step into Self-Forgiveness
It will come as no surprise that one of the most difficult people to forgive can be yourself. Yet with patience and gentle determination, it can be done. – Allan Lokos, “Lighten Your Load” |

 Continuous Mind
If we believe that mind is continuous, our love for others becomes continuous. If we recognize this continuity, we do not trust temporary, tangible circumstances or take them too seriously. – Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, “Continuous Mind” |

 Open Your Heart
Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It’s a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs. – Pema Chodron, “Stay with Your Broken Heart” |

 The Difference Between Wisdom and Goodness
Wisdom inclines toward the good but is not attached to it. It shies away from what is not good, but has no aversion to it. Wisdom recognizes the difference between skillful and unskillful, and it sees the undesirability of the unskillful. – Sayadaw U Tejaniya, “The Wise Investigator “ |

 Settled Mind
With practice, that space–which is the mind’s natural clarity–begins to expand and settle. We can begin to watch our thoughts and emotions without necessarily being affected by them quite as powerfully or vividly as we’re used to. – Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, “The Aim of Attention “ |

 When we talk about changing other people that supposes the existence of someone else that is separate from this self. But if, as the Buddha taught, that is not the case, then if I change that change affects the entire universe.
