How to Love (Mindful Essentials)

You can’t offer happiness until you have it for yourself.

When we ourselves can’t generate the energy to take care of ourselves, we think we need the energy of someone else. We focus on the need and the lack rather than generating the energy of mindfulness, concentration, and insight that can heal our suffering and help the other person as well.

True love gives us a lot of space.

If you don’t reconcile with yourself, happiness with another person is impossible.

Practicing to realize nondiscrimination, to see the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things, and to share this wisdom with others, we are giving the gift of nonfear. Everything is impermanent. This moment passes. That person walks away. Happiness is still possible.

We should practice in such a way that every moment is fulfilling. We should feel satisfaction in every breath, in every step, in every action.

THREE: I KNOW YOU ARE SUFFERING

We are aware that all generations of our ancestors and all future generations are present in us. 2. We are aware of the expectations that our ancestors, our children, and their children have of us. 3. We are aware that our joy, peace, freedom, and harmony are the joy, peace, freedom, and harmony of our ancestors, our children, and their children. 4

Your good intentions are not enough; you have to be artful.
