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 âthem'. âWe' should be enough; the whole world is part of âus'. 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/reesesâŚ
What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesnât 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 canât do that, at least not harming them.
We mourn the loss of life in this weekendâs 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.
Donât let the NFL draft distract you from the fact that earlier today our âpresidentâ 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 â and their families.
I will not rush this. I cannot.
We can no longer exploit the resources of this earthâthe trees, the water, and other natural resourcesâwithout any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we wonât survive. This Earth Day letâs 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 âusâ and âthemâ is a source of conflict. We neglect basic human qualities of kindness and compassion. Letâs 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 wonât stop fighting for the equipment we need to save every life we can.
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! #edugladiatorsyoutu.be/orGXtKBIQo8
