“I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.”
― Martha Graham

― Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible

“True discipline is really just self-remembering; no forcing or fighting is necessary.”
― Charles Eisenstein, The Yoga of Eating: Transcending Diets and Dogma to Nourish the Natural Self

“It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.”
