The best of wholeheartedness for the week ending 3/9/2013

  1. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” -Mark Twain, legendary author.
  2. “When all your desires are distilled; You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy.”   – Hafiz
  3. “Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition – such as lifting weights – we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.” -Stephen R. Covey, best-selling author and speaker.
  4. “Any time I am in resentment, I am not taking care of myself. I am blaming someone else for something I need to do.” “The higher the expectations, the lower the serenity. I try to keep my boundaries high, my expectations low, and my heart open.” -Anon
  5. “When you take charge of your life, there is no longer a need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.” – Geoffrey F. Abert

  12. @toddlohenry Thx for all the great tweets this a.m. Clipping them all with Evernote to read later!
  13. @SocialBro Hey guys! I have a @bufferapp customer here, @toddlohenry, and we have some questions. Is there an email addy we can contact? :)
  14. @jenpastiloff Something tells me I would have heard from you if I curated your content incorrectly. :-D
  15. @livegrey Love your site and what you’re doing and I’d like to do everything I can to promote your thinking…
  16. @toddlohenry Hi there Todd. Thanks for sharing our philosophy on your blog!
  17. @farhanadhalla Thanks for writing such good stuff. Hope all’s well…
  18. @barbmarkway Thanks for calling my attention to the event in the first place; Kristen Neff was AWESOME!!! I won’t take notes now… :-D
  19. Remember in Step Nine we were told to make direct amends wherever possible, but this generous principle should extend further. We…
  20. @toddlohenry I think it’s 100% diff. Reblog the heck out of me or quote me but give credit where credit is due. Respect, right? Thoughts?
  21. @toddlohenry reblogging credits the orig person. Knowingly Taking someone’s ideas and calling them your own lacks ethics

  25. @JenPastiloff How does copycatting differ from ‘reblogging’ or curating content according to fair use guidelines in your mind? Or does it?

Tara Brach may be glad to know that I have ‘discovered’ her work [I find the ‘discovery’ process, how things come to us and the language around it amusing at times]. In any case, thanks to Kristin Barton Cuthriell I became aware of the term ‘radical acceptance‘ a few week ago and devoured Tara Brach’s book by the same name shortly thereafter. I look forward to reading her book True Refuge when I can get a copy but until then I have been listening to her teaching via her podcast. Today on her blog, I found this video recording of one of these podcast meditations that I want to share with you here…

btw, Kristin — I’m very jealous you get to attend one of these meditations soon… :-D

It’s a Good Morning

Kim & Jason write:

It’s a good morning, isn’t it?

If you’re having a hard time agreeing with that statement, let me ask you some questions…

Are you alive?

Can you see? Smell? Hear? Talk? Walk?

Do you have a job?

Do you have a roof over your head?

Do you have something to eat today?

Does someone love you?

Do you have a dream in your heart?

Is today a chance to let go of yesterday and start fresh?

No, you may not have said yes to every single one of those questions. But you only need to say yes to one of them for it to be a good morning.

“So why are the very organizations that are here to serve the dairy business petitioning the FDA to help ‘poison’ milk?

Let me explain. Recently, the IDFA and NMPF have petitioned the FDA to allow Aspartame along with other non-nutritive chemical sweeteners in children’s milk supply.

Easily enough, as much as these organizations can advertise to you—for really no other reason other than the belief system that milk and dairy are healthy for you–they’re taking it upon themselves to say adding these chemical sweeteners will help children consume more milk. This is based on the belief that children are more apt to drink a milk that’s sweeter than normal milk. And more milk consumed, coupled with lower caloric milk (due to the replacement of high calorie sugar with chemical, no calorie, sweeteners) means healthier children, so they say.

On the surface all seems logical enough. More milk…

Crap! I love hot dogs, brats and polish sausage. What’s worse? My wife has been telling me this for years, and I ignored her. I hate it when she’s right..
