I have always believed that learning more was a mission as I am sure that the more I will know, the better I will be able to help, serve, and take care of those I follow and support.
Learning is an activity that gives impressive results when done with attention and commitment. And the positive thing is that we can learn from everyone and everything, every single moment of our lives.
Over the years, I have developed a way to learn better, to foster curiosity, interest, commitment, motivation, and purpose.
Learning can be the key to whatever we want and hope to achieve. It’s how we set ourselves free from what limits us, allowing us to help other people.
Learning is caring.

Tara Brach writes “Addictions of all levels of intensity arise from disconnection and are spiking globally. Humans are experiencing epidemic levels of loneliness, and this combined with engineered products and substances that are highly addictive leads to great suffering. In these two talks, we explore how we get hooked on behaviors that we know cause harm, and how mindfulness and self-compassion can serve our freedom. Key to this process is reconnecting with our inner life, and remembering we are in this together, awakening together.” Go to the Source for more: Releasing the Habits That Imprison Your Spirit – Part 1 – Tara Brach

We could be a little something
I’ll be everything you wanted
I could bring you real comfort
Give you a break from loving
I’m trying more than just a little
I wanna meet you in the middle
Reading you is like a riddle
I really wanna figure you out
Don’t you worry what you’re gonna lose
In the heat of the moment
We’re rushing into something new
But we’re keeping it focused
Don’t call me lover
Stop thinking ’bout it, thinking ’bout it
I’m not the others
We could keep it simple as
La di da di da
We could keep it simple as
Don’t call me lover
Stop thinking ’bout it, thinking ’bout it
Another post for my dear, sweet sister Lisa — lover of all things U2!
Picture a place where it all doesn’t hurt
Where everything’s safe and it doesn’t get worse
Oh my
We see through bloodshot eyes
Picture a place, somewhere else far away
Where you know what they mean and they mean what they say
To us
And would that be enough?
Are we runnin’ out of time?
Are we hidin’ from the light?
Are we just too scared to fight
For what we want tonight?
Ryan Holiday writes The question of why and how we are supposed to live has been contemplated for centuries. Absurdist Albert Camus wrote that life is like the Sisyphean task of pushing a boulder up a mountain for all of eternity. Existence itself, in other words, is persevering. Camus writes, “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” So, how do we persevere well? How do we persevere happily? Go to the source: Perseverance: 7 Stoic Lessons on How To Keep Going
Do you think peace requires an end to war?
Or tigers eating only vegetables?
Does peace require an absence from
your boss, your spouse, yourself?
Do you think peace will come some other place than here?
Some other time than Now?
In some other heart than yours?
Peace is this moment without judgment.
That is all. This moment in the Heart-space where everything that is is welcome.
Peace is this moment without thinking
that it should be some other way,
that you should feel some other thing,
that your life should unfold according to your plans.
Peace is this moment without judgment,
this moment in the Heart-space where
everything that is is welcome.
