What makes you thrive? What foods make you feel clear and strong? What activities put that spring in your step? What people bring you to life? If you’re in mere survival mode, it may be helpful to gravitate toward something that makes you sparkle. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
―Maya Angelou There are times when life around us settles into calm. Yet we often discover storms still raging within us. And the opposite can be true. It may be stormy all around us, yet somehow we find calm within. Life is not an either or situation. Quiet and noise, stillness and movement, calm and chaos all coexist. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
―Willa Cather Have you been searching in vain for an answer or direction? Are you looking for someone or something to bring you peace? We often look outside of ourselves for our happiness and miss the treasures within. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush The only Zen you’ll find on mountain tops is the Zen you bring up there with you.
―Alan Watts When your world is feeling crowded and your options limited, you may be “lost in the weeds.” Overwhelm and overload are signs that it might be helpful to zoom out and offer space for the bigger picture. What might look different if you could observe the situation from 30,000 feet? If you were pure awareness, observing without emotion or preference? In mindful presence, Lori Furbush You are more than just your mind. You are more than just your habits. You are more than just your preferences. You’re a level of awareness.
―Naval Ravikant It is important to spend time in comfort. When we feel at ease, our nervous system uses this down time for resting, digesting, and repairing. Perhaps we find that comfort at home, in nature, with friends and family, and alone. It is also beneficial to experience discomfort. It is, after all, a part of life. Discomfort nudges us to learn patience, to build resilience, and to meet and explore our own boundaries. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush We find comfort among those who agree with us—growth among those who don't.
