Head of Labor party in UK cuts out starches, sugars, reverses his T2 diabetes, loses nearly 100lbs. Political leadership in UK. How about US?

In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Each one of us has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Inner transformation is not a matter of faith or prayer. It involves reason and the use of human intelligence. A calm and healthy mind has a very positive effect on our physical health and well-being.

What if that challenge in front of you is actually an opportunity? Turn your thinking upside down and watch how #perspective changes.

@BethFratesMD From yogic philosophy: "loud is good, quiet is better, silence is best." 😊 Silence is golden. It's been known for years. Too hard for most of us to #practice

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.

@AmazonAllie73 @JustinTrudeau @L_MacAulay @TheInsideCoop @eggsoeufs @dfc_plc @TurkeyFarmersCa @CHEF_LYNN I wouldn't eat $0.27 eggs in Amer. I grew up in CA; immediately tasted différence in food. Way more industrial & pesticide laden. Esp. dairy with hormones & antibiotics. Studying nutrition now for 25 years; it's not called SAD for nothing. Standard American Diet is miserable.

@RootsOfAction It has a lot to do with the "system" as well. Sadly the public system in the United States is suffering. And we may be a couple of generations into it. Let's hope enough people wake up to change its course for the future.

[Beth Frates MD @BethFratesMD]

After exercise, like a 🚶‍♀️ in the woods, a run or a 🧘‍♀️ class, the 🧠 waves enter an alpha state, which is associated with a reflective, clearheaded state of mind, ripe for new ideas. In this way, a bout of exercise can be a game changer.

@ANNELAMOTT You are kind and loving. Thank@you for your work, your love, your reflection books! 🙏🏼 once at a silent meditation retreat (I know I wasn't supposed to); I was reading about the time you fell off the chairlift. I giggled & shook as silently as possible. 👌🏼✌🏽

[Suzanne Ballantyne @simply_practice]

@HealingMB Yes! I'm living my life every day whether at work or at play. It's all a practice. 🙏🏼✌🏽

One moment they're clinging to you+the next they're asking for 🚗🔑 . Being a parent is a joy 🌞+challenge that provides ample opportunities for self-reflection+discovery. Also, it allows the parent to play like a kid again. The 🗝️ is to enjoy each stage when you're in it. 😊🙏

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I’m Tibetan, I’m Buddhist and I’m the Dalai Lama, but if I emphasize these differences it sets me apart and raises barriers with other people. What we need to do is to pay more attention to the ways in which we are the same as other people.
