Compassionate self-discipline
From the book: “Making a Change for Good: A guide to compassionate self-discipline” by Cheri Huber
“Make a commitment to meditation or anything else, follow through, have something come up to interfere, break your commitment, and commit again! When we’re simply present to the whole process, “failure” and ‘lack of self-discipline” are beside the point. Letting yourself down is beside the point. Being dissapointed is beside the point. Feeling discouraged is beside the point. Those reactions are designed to stop you. RECOMMITING is the point.”

Lenny Kravitz says:
“If you dance, dance love.
If you paint, paint love.
If you speak, speak love.
Got the vibe?”

Frederick Buechner said: “If I were called upon to state in a few words the essence of everything I was trying to say both as a novelist and as a preacher, it would be something like this: Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste and smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis, all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”
