The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

Metta sees truly that our integrity is inviolate, no matter what our life situation may be. We do not need to fear anything. We are whole: our deepest happiness is intrinsic to the nature of our minds, and it is not damaged through uncertainty and change.

Mindfulness needs to not be judgmental to really be mindfulness, which means it needs a basis of loving kindness.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

Meditation teaches us to focus and to pay clear attention to our experiences and responses as they arise, and to observe them without judging them.

Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.

Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.
