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.

You cannot do what's important now for you if your mind cannot accept what is happening in this present moment.

...as long as you are motivated by the approval of others, you cannot know with confidence whether the decisions you are making in your life are what's right for you... pg 102

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

When you are present, you are not needy.

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

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