Kindle Notes & Highlights
In some ways, it’s as if you died and the world continued on.
we will need to wake up to our moments.
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.
Experiment with giving away this energy—in little ways at first—directing it toward yourself and toward others with no thought of gain or return. Give more than you think you can, trusting that you are richer than you think.
practice sharing the fullness of your being, your best self, your enthusiasm, your vitality, your spirit, your trust, your openness, above all, your presence.
Keep mindfulness alive even in the darkest moments, reminding yourself that the awareness is not part of the darkness or the pain; it holds the pain, and knows it, so it has to be more fundamental, and closer to what is healthy and strong and golden within you.
Think of yourself as a mountain.
To take this posture is itself the right state of mind.
throughout the day as the sun travels the sky, the mountain just sits.
