Mindfulness Monday – to Hear

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Wendy

“The quieter you become
the more you can hear.”

~ Ram Dass

“Usually when we hear or read something new,
we just compare it to our own ideas.
If it is the same,
we accept it and say that it is correct.
If it is not, we say it is incorrect.
In either case, we learn nothing.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“People generally see what they look for,
and hear what they listen for.”

~ Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

lack of meditation leaves ignorance.
Know what leads you forward
and what holds you back
and choose the path that leads to wisdom.”

you become more and more you.”

~ David Lynch
