“A judgment with an evil design comes about when we compare a person to our pre-conceived beliefs about what is right or wrong and then condemn that person.”

“Each of us is the best we can be when we are fully present, focused yet relaxed, curious yet non-judgmental, committed yet flexible.”

“The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.”

“There is one undeniable truth about our body: it only exists in the present moment.”

“We cannot let go of the past enough to live in the present unless we are able to grieve our losses. We must deeply feel our emotional pain in order to accept that what is happening is not what we wanted.”

“If you first take a minute, an hour or a month to let go of feeling annoyed, frustrated or critical of the person or situation that may be driving you crazy, you set yourself up for much greater leadership and personal success.”

“Judgments are like a snowball. They stick to you. As time rolls along, the snowball becomes a boulder and then an avalanche.”
