The way I see it, we teach our children through modeling.

Increasing meaning and joy on the planet is the ultimate goal because within that space all evil is cast out.

Think of your work life therefore, not as separate from your spiritual life but as central to your spiritual life. Whatever your business, it is your ministry.

These are very serious times, and serious people need to be doing some serious thinking.

In every moment we make a decision -- whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and thus free myself from fear? Or will I close my heart, project fear instead of extending love, judge others, and thus bind myself to fear? The choice is mine and mine alone.

People who are meditating every day and involved in a serious spiritual practice don't usually wake up in the morning and want to rush out to eat a bunch of junk food.

Choosing joy involves spiritual surrender, and sometimes we would rather hold on to the pain than surrender our egos.
