Pema Chödrön
“Words themselves are neutral. It's the charge we add to them that matters”
Pema Chödrön, Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears

Irvin D. Yalom
“One thing I feel clear about is that it's important not to let your life live you. Otherwise, you end up at forty feeling you haven't really lived. What have I learned? Perhaps to live now, so that at fifty I won't look back upon my forties with regret.”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

Pema Chödrön
“When we feel dread, when we feel discomfort of any kind, it can connect us at the heart with all the other people feeling dread and discomfort. We can pause and touch into dread. We can touch bitterness of rejection and the rawness of being slighted. Whether we are at home or in a public spot or caught in a traffic jam or walking into a movie, we can stop and look at the other people there and realize that in pain and in joy they are just like me. Just like me they don’t want to feel physical pain or insecurity or rejection. Just like me they want to feel respected and physically comfortable.”
Pema Chödrön, Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears

Irvin D. Yalom
“love obsession often serves as a distraction, keeping the individual’s gaze from more painful thoughts.”
Irvin D. Yalom, The Gift of Therapy

Pema Chödrön
“Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.”
Pema Chödrön, Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears
