“Take responsibility for the energy you bring.”
Jill Bolte Taylor

“Unfortunately, as a society, we do not teach our children that they need to tend carefully the garden of their minds. Without structure, censorship, or discipline, our thoughts run rampant on automatic. Because we have not learned how to more carefully manage what goes on inside our brains, we remain vulnerable to not only what other people think about us, but also to advertising and/or political manipulation.”
Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

“When we are being compassionate, we consider another's circumstance with love rather than judgement... To be compassionate is to move into the right here, right now with an open heart consciousness and a willingness to be supportive.”
Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
