As a journalist, activist, and diplomat, I’ve seen the world-changing impact of @USAID. At this critical moment, I feel immensely fortunate to have the chance to serve again, working with the incredible USAID team to confront COVID-19, climate change, humanitarian crises, & more.

People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself.—Doris Lessing

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

How do you "know" things? For most of human history, people have lived primarily in the realm of what Eckhart calls "conceptual" awareness—or the realm of the ego—largely unaware of a deeper way of knowing that arises in the realm of the nonconceptual.

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

“With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: "I allow this moment to be as it is". And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.” - Eckhart Tolle

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

"Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real." - Eckhart Tolle

"Don't get attached to any words. They are only stepping stones." - Eckhart Tolle

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

“The greatest difficulty is the mental resistance to things that arise, and the underlying assumption that they should not.” - Eckhart Tolle

Today, I’ll be reading one of my favorites: “There’s a Dragon in Your Book.” It’s a fun read that requires a little imagination and a lot of heart.

Tune in at 12pm ET on @PenguinRandom’s Facebook or anytime after on @PBSKids YouTube channel. https://t.co/TBP2AA8QRC

"As a child, I promised my mother I would win the Nobel Prize in Physics. 50 years later, I said to my mother, 'See, I have kept my promise. I won the Nobel Prize.' 'No,' said my mother, 'You promised it would be in physics!'"

Marie Sklodowska Curie discovered polonium in an experiment conducted #OnThisDay in 1898.

Watch the story behind the discovery of polonium - as well as radium, which was also discovered the same year.

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

The most important thing to do when confronted with unconsciousness is not to react to it, as that would draw you down to the same level of unconsciousness. Instead, become intensely present so you can see things as they are and act from a place of sanity. https://t.co/5Wz27KisZn

"I discovered that rejections are not altogether a bad thing. They teach a writer to rely on his own judgment and to say in his heart of hearts, 'To hell with you'."

Literature Laureate Saul Bellow - born #OTD - is considered one of the 20th century's greatest writers.
