Wisdom Week Wrap-Up October 13

Quotes that are food for thought

So many great quotes come out of my conversations with my guests! This is a weekly piece with some words that might just get you thinking about your own life.

“The whole trick of it is to learn to disidentify from the mind. The minds knows facts but has no wisdom. Wisdom comes from the heart.” -Pragito Dove, Meditation Guru, Teacher and Author

Pragito Dove is an experienced meditation teacher. She studied with the Indian master Osho and she brings that wisdom plus decades of personal experience to teaching meditation.

I love this quote because she puts the spotlight on the heart. It’s the heart’s wisdom that never lets us down. Do you tend to live in your mind? What if you applied heart wisdom in your daily life?

“If you can adapt beginner’s mind, everything becomes a wonderful adventure.”-Shane Cooke, Chef

Beginner’s Mind is a Buddhist concept that suggests we approach everything in the present, without bias. It opens the door to curiosity, and that opens the door to creativity and adventure.

Could you find a place to practice Beginner’s Mind this week?

“What can I learn from this?”-Thom Walters

Tom Walters is the creator and host of the popular podcast Zen Communter. Thom is a long time meditator, meditation teacher and speaker with over 40 years of experience.

This quote mirrors my daily mantra of “What can I learn?”. It’s a powerful perspective that transforms your life experiences into an adventure into personal knowledge, growth and wisdom.

Give it a go this week. What might you learn?
