| 1220a09 | A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even .. | achievement-and-attitude achievement-gap achieving-dreams achieving-excellence achieving-mastery achieving-success arriving personal-planning sales-advice sales-effectiveness selling success-in-business successful-living success success-self-improvement achievements success-in-life success-strategies business presentation moving-forward reputation doing success-quotes sales sales-training | Chris Murray | |

| 170496b | One of the most tender and beautiful scenes that would occasionally unfold in the MacMurray house was the calm, quiet peace that would come over one of the children when they were done trying to get their way. Cassy would get up off the floor and walk over to where her dad was and hold out her arms, her face still pouting. Then John would sit down on the couch and hold her and rock her in his arms.

| 37841bc | May virtue and serenity belong to all, even my competitors and adversaries. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| a4b603e | When we are no longer so tightly identified with who we used to be and how we think things should continue to be--based on the past--every moment of wakefulness is an opportunity to actualize and enjoy our inherent freedom, wholeness, and perfection. The heart-mind is gorgeous in its authentic natural state! | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 31e148d | The deep pain we continue to experience reminds us of our love and keeps our hearts open. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| a249b88 | People sometimes find Buddhism pessimistic, saying there is too much talk about death. It's essential to understand that Buddhists don't contemplate death because they are morbid or depressed; they focus on death, mortality, and human frailty as a means of better understanding and appreciating life. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| f29262f | With every breath, the old moment is lost; a new moment arrives. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 08c9ec1 | Expecting good things to last and unwanted things to stay away forever is simply unrealistic, | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 8636b6c | As long as we're preoccupied with our former traumas and triumphs, or our fears and dreams about what might happen down the road, or who said what to whom, it's very difficult to appreciate and cherish the intrinsically joyful gift of life right here, now. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| a42e5c5 | Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 43a1d99 | Partings make us sad; they make us feel as though we are being beaten up by fate; sometimes they make us feel desperate and without real connections or roots. When we are torn away from those we love, we suffer from intense feelings of longing and loneliness. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 7956bb5 | When we ground ourselves in the present moment, we spontaneously connect better with others. We become more responsive and less reactive, listening more deeply and speaking with greater clarity. | inspirational-quotes mind-body-spirit responsiveness mindfulness present-moment self-control | Lama Surya Das | |
| 144a1f7 | I went to a charnel ground for the practice of Chod a few dozen times in India and in Nepal. Several times I went to a place near a meat slaughterhouse where thousands of water buffalo bones were piled high in macabre pyramids. One night as I was chanting, the bones began to shift, move, and rattle about. I didn't think it was a ghost or demon, but I did imagine that some kind of huge rat or snake was making its way through the immense pile.. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| b819401 | The past is over, and the future is unknown. We can dwell in the imagined worlds of yesterday and tomorrow if we so choose. But the more we do so, the more we miss out on life itself as it is happening, moment by moment, and the more we fail to realize who we actually are, moment by moment. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 7694fd7 | opting for happiness and contentment is a decision that we can make at any time and that needs to be continually remade at every turn. | Lama Surya Das | ||
| 7df5dff | All the happiness and virtue in this world come from selflessness and generosity, all the sorrow from egotism, selfishness, and greed. | Lama Surya Das | ||

| cae79ad | New karma is being made all the time. When one acts with a positive motivation, goodness is furthered. When one acts out of negative motivation, negativity is furthered. "We can recondition ourselves to act with wisdom. The important thing to understand here is that you are not a victim. You are your own master. 'As you sow, so shall you reap." | mindfulness-training motivation mindfulness wisdom-quotes | Lama Surya Das | |
| 1091b86 | It is not important whether what he is chanting is true or not, whether you believe in it or not. Your decision to chant along with him is no measure of your commitment to justice or freedom or whatever lofty principle is at hand. Sometimes, radical slogans are a trap. They are shouted by infiltrators so that a group of students protesting a press crackdown can be depicted as seeking to overthrow the regime. Sometimes they are not traps at .. | Shirin Ebadi | ||
| e4caa9f | Under the Iranian code, the worth of a woman's life equals half of a man's, a point that often leads to grotesque legal judgments that effectively punish the victims. In this instance, the judge ruled that the 'blood money' for the two men was worth more than the life of the murdered nine-year-old girl, and he demanded that her family come up with thousands of dollars to finance their executions. | women | Shirin Ebadi | |
| 3dbd509 | The ruling regime in Iran has many faults, but it is more representative than most in the Middle East outside Israel (though the trend is not encouraging--the Majles elections of 2004 and the presidential elections of 2005 were more interfered with and less free than previous elections). Despite repressive measures by the state, Iran is not a totalitarian country like the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It is a complex polity, with differ.. | Michael Axworthy | ||
| 9ae950b | Despite all consequence, there is an inevitable honoring of what is true, and at this deep level of inner voice, it is not a summoning of will, but a following of true knowing. | Mark Nepo | ||
| b3bc463 | Now I want to stand naked before every wind; and though I'm still frightened I will break, I somehow know it's all a part--even the fright--of the rhythm of being alive. | Mark Nepo | ||
| 43d0fbf | So long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth. --GOETHE | Mark Nepo | ||
| a5c7133 | Our crucial task when in pain or despair is not to let the sour feelings spill into everything, so that we stain our sense of the world. Yet we must also take care not to so contain our feelings that they fester and infect our sense of ourselves. Somewhere between these two extremes waits the life of healthy expression, not personalizing everything and not painting the world with our troubles. | Mark Nepo | ||
| 4770d54 | This is why finding what we love, though it may take years, is building a life of passion. For what makes you come alive can keep you alive, whether you are paid well for it or not. And beyond the fashion of the job market, a life of passion makes us a healthy cell in the body of the world. | Mark Nepo | ||
| 4c4fbf9 | Reframing what happens to us can be a healthy way to survive terrible things, or it can become a veil of denial that keeps us from moving on. Often, we simply have to trust that we will see the truth of things when we are strong enough and ready. Yet the danger in not seeing things as they are or were is that we can start to believe that in order to learn something we need someone to throw us off the boat, or out of the relationship. If we .. | Mark Nepo | ||
| d2fafe7 | FEBRUARY 17 Endgame Now there's nothing left but to keep dancing. I don't know if it is human nature or the way of life on Earth, but we seldom become all of who we are until forced to it. Some say that something in us rises to the occasion, that there is, as Hemingway called it, "a grace under pressure" that comes forth in most of us when challenged. Others say this talk of grace is merely a way to rationalize hard times and painful experi.. | Mark Nepo | ||
| 463d5dc | It doesn't have to be pretty or smart, just honest and true. For many a dance starts with a trip, and many a song finds its opening through a cough. | Mark Nepo |
