Acting from the appropriateness of the heart, we are freed from the neediness of the mind.
Stephen LevineOur life is composed of events and states of mind. How ewe appraise our life from our deathbed will be predicated not only on what came to us in life but how we lived with it. It will not be simply illness or health, riches or poverty, good luck or bad, which ultimately define whether we believe we have had a good life or not, but the quality of our relationship to these situations: the attitudes of our states of mind.

Stephen LevineI have seen many die, surrounded by loved ones, and their last words were โI love you.โ There were some who could no longer speak yet with their eyes and soft smile left behind that same healing message. I have been in rooms where those who were dying made it feel like sacred ground. (26)
Stephen LevineThe saddest part about being human is not paying attention. Presence is the gift of life.
