Meaning

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hung. Meaning is something you build into your life.  (John Gardner.  On Leadership.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you look at your life.

 

PS: Remember to hold the one’s you love just a little closer and tighter this week.

Boulders

The river has to flow around a boulder in order to get where it wants to go.  One or two boulders may only hinder the flow, but pile up a few more and you start to dam the river.  It doesn’t take long for that dammed river to overflow its banks and get diverted toward a completely different destination.  (Gay Hendricks. Five Wishes.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you examine your boulders.

Habitual Patterns

Habitual patterns are almost like reflexes: when we are shocked, we panic, and when we are attacked, we become defensive.  When we feel inadequate, we employ habitual responses to patch up our self-image: we invent excuses to shield our inadequacies from other people. (Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior).

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you examine your habitual patterns with honesty and compassion.

When I am deeply heard without judgment, tender heartfelt truths are allowed to emerge. (Mark Brady.  Wisdom of Listening)
