Each one of us can make a small but critical contribution to the future by taking care of the present now-each in our own unique way-ethically, lovingly, together with others where we work, wherever we can make a difference. It is a great adventure, a radical act of sanity&love.

Me: “I don’t think billionaires should concentrate wealth while employing people who are sleeping in cars working a zillion hours to survive.”
Next day: “That will be TEN PINOCCHIOS to Ocasio, ‘zillion’ is not a number and I found someone who sleeps in a tent, not a car.”

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.

I offer metta(loving kindness) to those in Ice detention centers to remind myself not to disconnect. And because I remember what it was as a child to feel abandoned. It’s so much less painful to look the other way, but this is vital.
A powerful and fact-based response to the backlash regarding mindfulness by two people who know meditation from the inside, one a highly distinguished neuroscientist who studies it. Please pass it on to all your networks for the sake of accuracy. https://t.co/pXIP49TQZk
Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too...
You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.
Scientists warn that constant fear and anger are bad for our health, while being compassionate and warm-hearted contributes to our physical and mental well-being. Therefore, just as we observe physical hygiene to stay well, we need to cultivate a kind of emotional hygiene too.
