Running and meditation are very personal activities. Therefore they are lonely. This loneliness is one of their best qualities because it strengthens our incentive to motivate ourselves.

The wise are balanced, and the foolish are extreme.

In meditation we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

The most outrageous thing we can do in this world is to accept what happens and fly with it.

I think Shambhala can be a very strong force as a social example of how you can try to live a life balanced in terms of both the spiritual and the secular.

A lot of times people do spiritual practice just for themselves. I try to turn that a little bit. I try to make spiritual practice more a part of the community. I write about infusing people with compassion.

We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future.
