Everything else: it’s just the weather. - Pema Chodron', ' Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic: this is the spiritual path. - Pema Chodron', ' Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world. - Pema Chodron', ' The only reason we don\'t open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don\'t feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else\'s eyes. - Pema Chodron', ' Someone needs to encourage us not to brush aside what we feel. Not to be ashamed of the love and grief that it arouses in us. Not to be afraid of pain. Someone needs to encourage us: that this soft spot in us could be awakened, and that to do this would change our lives. - Pema Chodron', ' Let difficulty transform you. And it will. In my experience, we just need help in learning how not to run away. - Pema Chodron', ' The central question of a warrior\'s training is not how we avoid uncertainty and fear but how we relate to discomfort. - Pema Chodron', ' Our true nature is like a precious jewel: although it may be temporarily buried in mud, it remains completely brilliant and unaffected. We simply have to uncover it. - Pema Chodron' ] end
