If you're studying for an exam you're not thinking about the results. If you're always worried about the results, you can't study a lot. So to be engaged and detached from the outcome is excellent. Excellence is behavior. I mean, isn't that what martial arts is about? And that's what meditation is about, that's what, in many ways, sports are about.

People who become great leaders are those who take time to reflect every day on the big questions: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who are my heroes in history, mythology, and religion? What are my unique talents and how do I express them? These are the qualities of silent reflection that make a great leader, like Jesus.

During meditation, our breathing slows, our blood pressure and heart rate decrease, and stress hormone levels fall.

When you're in touch with spirit, you put feeling over results.

You are not merely the physical body that you identify with out of habit. Your essential state is a field of infinite possibilities.

Stop. Take 3 deep breaths and smile everywhere in your body, observing what's happening in your body. Proceed now with kindness and understanding.

To love a person is to love their universe.
