“We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God’s family.”

– Desmond Mpilo Tutu

Notice What You Nourish

Disposed to anger or kindness, we feel angry or kind and act it out, and thereby get more disposed to anger or kindness. Which wolf gets fed wins the day.

Eustress

Father Eli teaches that strain or eustress is necessary for life. For example, to develop a muscle, we put a load in it with weights or having to pull something. As long as we don’t increase the load by too much in a given interval of time, the muscle with grow to meet the demand of the new weight.

Practice is Planting Seeds

When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready.

Humanized Once More

We must realize that modern civilization is thoroughly oriented towards dehumanizing humanity in every possible way; that is to say, we are fast turning into robots or statues with no human souls. Our task is to get humanized once more.

Mini Mindfulness Break for January 24, 2020

So, beginning again: your attention will go somewhere eventually, one breath, two breaths, ten breaths later. It will go to the past, it will go to the future, judgment, speculation, somewhere. And that is an extraordinary moment when we realize we’ve been gone because that truly is an opportunity to be very different… we practice letting go, we practice starting over, we practice beginning again out of very great compassion and kindness. That’s actually quite radical.

Cultivating Equanimity

If you work hard at something but find that too many obstacles prevent you from accomplishing it, you may have to give up. In that case, you shouldn’t get depressed. Conditions aren’t right. Perhaps this will change, perhaps it won’t. You are not a failure. Becoming upset only causes suffering.
