“Zen teacher Jakusho Kwong suggests becoming “an active participant in loss.” We’re conditioned to seek only gain, to be happy, and to try to satisfy all our desires, he explains. But even though we may understand on some level that loss is a catalyst for growth, most people still believe it to be the opposite of gain and to be avoided at all costs. If I’ve learned anything in my years of practicing Zen and coaching basketball, it’s that what we resist persists.”

“Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.”

“The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
Will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will not be re-run, brothers.
The revolution will be live.”
