Happiness derived from mere physical comfort tends to be shallow and fleeting. It fails to pacify anxiety and fear. Whereas if we have a calm mind it is effective in overcoming even physical pain, therefore we should not neglect the inner values that are a source of a calm mind.

I often say that we should eliminate the notion of ‘them'. ‘We' should be enough; the whole world is part of ‘us'. This isn't some kind of old-fashioned way of thinking, or an altruistic forgetting of your own interests. I want happiness and in order to achieve that, I need you.

We started @OurFuture1st with the goal of creating a young-adult focused community center called Reese's House, in honor of our inspiration Maurice Lewis. We've raised over $18K, but still need help to purchase this incredible space. Can you help us?! go.ourfuturefirst.org/reeses…

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

We mourn the loss of life in this weekend‘s shootings. Grateful to have worked with the Legislature, law enforcement & civil rights advocates to enact a law ensuring officer-involved shootings are subject to a full, transparent & independent investigation, which is now underway.

Don’t let the NFL draft distract you from the fact that earlier today our “president” gave one of the most dangerous, embarrassing, and nonsensical press conferences EVER.

We are not going to open our schools back up until we are convinced by scientists and medical professionals that doing so would be safe for students and staff – and their families. I will not rush this. I cannot.

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.

Time is always moving on; nothing can stop it. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it to shape the future. Stress on ‘us’ and ‘them’ is a source of conflict. We neglect basic human qualities of kindness and compassion. Let’s work together to create a happier future.

After multiple conversations with the @WhiteHouse, we just received word that 300 ventilators are on their way to New Jersey from the national stockpile. Ventilators are our number one need right now. I won’t stop fighting for the equipment we need to save every life we can.

The look I make on the @todayshow when @hodakotb says how this pandemic has shown the world how important teachers truly are and how parents have a much greater appreciation for teachers. 🍎❤️ #teachersmatter #whyweteach #teacherlife #homeschool #covid_19 #noschool

Knowledge is not always power! Our knowledge & preconceived notions block our ability to be open-minded and receptive to the experiences of others. Think of knowledge as fluid instead of a solid & you will always be open to receive! #edugladiators youtu.be/orGXtKBIQo8
