I simply wanted to share this YouTube clip this with you this morning. I was inspired by a friend on Facebook. Pema Chodron is a remarkable Buddhist monk who in this clip talks about Maitri: Unconditional Friendship with oneself. The greatest gift and a direct route to helping us learn from our Karma. She is a remarkable woman!
Questioning…. April 29, 2010
I wrote something on my Facebook site today that I felt needed further explanation… the post was this: Always be searching. Always be questioning. And when you think you’ve found the answer….. Start questioning some more because when we stop learning we die. What can you do today to stretch yourself?
The questioning that I am talking about is that of a child… with inquisitiveness. Have you ever spent time with a child and every other word out of their mouth is “why?… why?…..why?”. It’s not about being right it’s about learning, growing becoming a greater human being. So when I say “When you think you have found the answer” ask why again. The day we stop is the day we become stagnant and our brain ceases to grow and we cease to grow hence we die. So our child like questioning will not only keep us young but keep us Brilliant!
So I ask you How can you stretch yourself today? What can you learn today that you didn’t know yesterday?
LOVE
