January 7, 2015 the power of the mind 17 mile meditative run,”You have a train of thought on which you ride. when you are alone, and quietly thinking. The self-worth you feel, as well as the happiness your life brings, depends upon the direction in which this train is moving, the baggage it carries and the emotional space through which it travels. Between life’s stimulus and your reaction is where this space exists; within it is your power to choose how you react, and in your reaction lays your growth, freedom, and happiness. If you truly want to change your life, you must first change your mind. You must free it from the restrictive thinking that holds you back.”

January 6, 2015 inner silence 17 mile meditative run,”The disciples were involved in a heated discussion on the cause of human suffering. Some said it came from selfishness delusion. While others think, it is the inability to distinguish the real from the unreal. When the Master was consulted, he said, all suffering comes from a person’s inability to sit still and be alone.”

January 5, 2015 letting go of fear 16 mile meditative run,”Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.”

You do not need to judge others, because you are awesome. So believe in that, and remind yourself of it every day. When you feel truly content and comfortable in your own skin, you’ll likely discover that you find fewer faults in others.”

January 3, 2015 practicing listening 26-mile meditative run,"The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. However, the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence, it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. In addition, when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind."
