The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
Pema ChodronWholeheartedly do what it takes to awaken your clear-seeing intelligence, but one day at a time, one moment at a time. If we live that way, we will benefit this earth.
Pema ChodronWhen there's a disappointment, I don't know if it's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure.
Pema ChodronAnything we experience, no matter how challenging, can become an open pathway to awakening.
