20.01.2022 growing through adversity ‘Anxiety and your other emotional pain and hurt are not your enemies. They are your teachers. Think about that for a moment. Without experiencing disappointment, you’d never learn to hold your expectations about the future more lightly. Without the hurt and frustration, you’d never learn kindness and compassion or perseverance. Without exposure to new information, you’d never learn anything new. Without fear, you’d never learn courage. Even ge...tting sick once serves a purpose - it strengthens your immune system and helps you to appreciate good health. ‘Moments of adversity and pain provide you with opportunities for growth and change. They teach you important skills. They give you new perspectives on life. You need them.

Is a blade of grass less aesthetic or less worthy of contemplation than a rose?

Say yes to the whole display of nature’s life forms. Here there is a contemplative mind aspect: we can be open and free from bias, concept, and self-confirming interpretation. Don’t see flowers as flowers. Don’t see weeds as weeds. We can just relax and see what we see in the way that we see. That seeing will be free and fresh. Now we are free and fresh.’ Heart of Photography John McQuade, Miriam Hall

02.01.2022 addictions ‘All addictions are anesthetics. They separate us from the distress of our consciousness. We throw off our familiar and tired consciousness to assume another mind state we find more comfortable, at least temporarily. Desperate to be out of our mind and unaware, we surrender to the addiction, to be lulled into a walking sleep.’ Scattered Minds... Gabor Mate See more
