Brene Brown quote
“We make everything that is uncertain, certain. Religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty: ‘I’m right, you’re wrong--shut up.’ This is what politics looks like today. There’s no discourse anymore, there’s no conversation. But there is another way…. To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen…. To love with our whole hearts even though there is no guarantee… To practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror…. To believe that we’re enough, because when we work from a place that says 'I’m enough,' we stop screaming and we start listening. We’re kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we’re kinder and gentler to ourselves.” ~Brene Brown

"Learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence is beyond the ego. It is fearless, it is free, it is immune to criticism, it does not fear any challenge. It is beneath no one, superior to no one, and full of magic, mystery and enchantment."- Deepak Chopra

Found this on dailycupofyoga.wordpress.com
I found it to be very moving so am posting here...mostly so I can find it, LOL.
“When we listen as if we were in a temple and give attention to one another as if each person were our teacher, honoring his or her words as valuable and sacred, all kinds of great possibilities awaken. Even miracles can happen. To act in the world most effectively, our actions cannot come from our small sense of self, our limited identity, our hopes, and our fears. Rather, we must listen to a greater possibility and cultivate actions connected with our highest intentions from the patient and compassionate Buddha within us. We must learn to be in touch with something greater than ourselves, whether we call it the Tao, God, the dharma, or the law of nature. There is a deep current of truth that we can hear. When we listen and act in accordance with this truth, no matter what happens, our actions will be right.”
—Jack Kornfield, from A Path With Heart
