“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
“To make a difference in someone’s life you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care.” Mandy Hale (@MissMandyHale)
“all the people we have met and all the people we have yet to meet, are meant to exist so we can find them. so we both could exchange a set of directions, which will guide us to the next place we are meant to go.” r.m. drake
Ikigai (生き甲斐, "a reason for being") is a Japanese concept referring to having direction or purpose in life, providing sense of fulfillment and toward which a being can give actions, giving her/him/them satisfaction and a sense of meaning. ❤️ #ikigai 🎯 sloww.co/ikigai-book/
Kaizen (改善) is the Japanese word for improvement. The philosophy of continual improvement can be distilled into 6 steps: standardize, measure, compare, innovate, standardize (again), repeat.
No matter how good we are, we can always be better. #kaizen ✨
“To be humble, to be kind:
It is a giving of the peace in your mind.
To a stranger, to a friend,
To give in such a way that has no end…
We are love, we are one,
We are how we treat each other when the day is done…"
"Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, and it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Bruce Lee✨

WISDOM OF THE SOUL:
Seek opportunities… Not guarantees.
Life is what’s coming… Not what was.
When things go wrong… Don’t go with them.
We don’t have to attend every argument we’re invited to.
Our eyes are in front because it is more important to LOOK AHEAD than to look behind.
@ObscureSorrows@ailsa_writes “If I share something with you that’s very difficult, I’d rather you say, ‘I don’t know what to say right now. I’m just so glad you told me.’ The truth is: Rarely can a response make something better. What makes something better is CONNECTION.” @BreneBrown@Gobblynne#Empathy❤️✨

“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it,” said Abraham Lincoln somewhere in the multiverse…
In this thread, we collect colloquialisms commonly misattributed on the Internet. Aphorisms often have their own lives…
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
MLK employed this resonant line in a 1958 article and 1964 speech.
American Transcendentalist Theodore Parker first formulated the metaphor about historical progress in an 1853 sermon: quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/15/arc…
“The truth is, everybody is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”
Truth is, even though the memorable sentiment resonates because it is replete with compassion and empathy and resilience and grit, Bob Marley never said it: houstonpress.com/news/the-truth…
“These Bubba the Love Sponge tapes should be distributed everywhere so every COMPASSIONATE person can hear just how Tucker Carlson REALLY thinks about women.” @JohnFugelsang@StephMillerShow
Re-upping @mmfa audio in light of Matt Gaetz’s TERRIBLE actions:
“Tucker Carlson says he has no recollection of what Matt Gaetz is talking about. Generally Gaetz appears to be saying she was 18 by the time he bought her airline tix and hotel rooms so technically the federal charges fail. Not a great look. Going to get messier.” @harrylitman 🎯
“The point of setting ambitious goals isn't to experience joy. It's to pursue personal growth and mastery — or to create something of value for others.” @AdamMGrant
"The prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety… The entire system was gutted… It takes time to build out of the depths of cruelty that the administration before us established.” @SecMayorkas
“We don't take advice or counsel from former President* Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective. We are going to chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect.” @jrpsaki@PressSec
“In the last administration we had a morality problem: Children were pulled from the arms of their parents and kids were sent back on a treacherous journey. And that’s not the approach of this admininstration.” Jen Psaki
@rcbregman@ZeroDean “Post-traumatic growth: People derive long-term benefits from painful experiences, including more appreciation for life, richer relationships, greater resilience, and deeper spirituality.” @arthurbrooks
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases from being shared.” fakebuddhaquotes.com/thousands-of-c…
BIDEN: “Children were ripped from parents’ arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents, and those kids are ALONE… It’s criminal!!”
“Donald Trump’s administration lost the parents of 545 children they abducted at the border and caged… Stephen Miller created the myth that these parents didn’t really lose their children.”
