40 Quotes by Kelly Corbet

I’d say our society focuses more on hair than prayer. Since one is transient, and one is eternal, it may not be the best return on investment.

What does it even look like, Loving unconditionally, not including even a thought of an exception? If we can do it, it is quite the accomplishment. Children do it. Dogs do it. But by the time we are adults, we think Love needs a reason, or a response, or a repayment. What if we just shined Love in every direction, expectationless? Whatever we once thought we needed as “payment” will seem paltry compared to what Love can come up with on her own.

What you think, you see. Your expectations create your reality.

What if your whole life could be a meditation? I’m not suggesting some far-off retreat center where the worries of the world couldn’t reach you. Nope. I’m suggesting the opposite. Create a space inside you that is so peaceful, so unflappable, that you’d never “need” a vacation away from it…and that is how to turn a life into a meditation.

Mindfulness is resilience-making. It’s like hydrating before a big race: you might not be thirsty when you’re drinking, but you’re stronger and prepared when reserves are low.

People don’t think compassion and strength cohabit, but compassion feels good, builds brains, creates connection and stops war (inner and outer). Now that is strength!

Was it really a bad day, or did those bad ten minutes get replayed all day (out loud or to yourself)? Reframing is powerful. So is stopping to breathe. Try them both! ● ☐ ● Sometimes, when something “bad” happens, do you imagine telling your best friend? Your spouse? Your dog (dogs always understand and never judge!)? So, essentially, instead of training yourself out of the bad mood, do you train yourself to prolong it?

In those 84,600 seconds we call Today, how many of them we can fill with thanks? The more we train our brains toward 'grateful,' the more grateful there is to see.

Because we all pick our reality from the slivers and hunks of our history, using our own special processing plant, the world we construct will always be different from anyone else’s world.
