I was such a smart kid, I should have figured out that the only way to really get my parents’ attention was to disappoint them or fail. But, by the time I finally realized that, succeeding was already a habit too ingrained to break.

Living in a culture that is always encouraging us to plan for the future, it is no easy task to develop the capacity “to be here now.”

“You said you wanted a new Agrabah. A better Agrabah. Where people are free and the laws are just and everyone takes care of each other and no one slips through the cracks. That means everyone — even [Jafar.]”

“But as we act, we not only express what is in us and help give shape to the world; we also receive what is outside us, and reshape our inner selves.” A commitment to a spiritual life requires us to do more than read a good book or go on a restful retreat. It requires conscious practice, a willingness to unite the way we think with the way we act.

Quote
Romantic fantasy often nurtures the belief that difficulties and down times are an indication of a lack of love rather than part of the process. In actuality, true love thrives on the difficulties. The foundation of such love is the assumption that we want to grow and expand, to become more fully ourselves.

“Though they have reached adult age, they are unable to face adult feelings with responsibilities. Out of touch with their true emotions, afraid to depend on even those closest to them, self-centered and narcissistic, they hide behind masks of normalcy while feeling empty and lonely inside.”

the wild blue loneliness
of autumn
devastates me
lost in leaves
an ocean of decay
I feel myself drift away
maybe an ember
will yet remain
dim and dying still

We wanted the lover to appear but most of us were not really clear about what we wanted to do with them — what the love was that we wanted to make and how we would make it.
