At The Root Of All The Harm

As Our Kindness For Ourselves Grows, So Does Our Kindness For Other People.

The Essence Of Bravery Is Being Without Self-deception.

Remind Yourself, In Whatever Way Is Personally Meaningful, That It Is Not In Your Best Interest To Reinforce Thoughts And Feelings Of Unworthiness. Even If You've Already Taken The Bait And Feel The Familiar Pull Of Self-denigration, Marshal Your Intelligence, Courage, And Humor In Order To Turn The Tide. Ask Yourself: Do I Want To Strengthen What I'm Feeling Now? Do I Want To Cut Myself Off From My Basic Goodness? Remind Yourself That Your Fundamental Nature Is Unconditionally Open And Free.

Words Themselves Are Neutral. It's The Charge We Add To Them That Matters

How Do We Cultivate The Conditions For Joy To Expand? We Train In Staying Present.
