Connect with a Bigger Perspective

"The more we connect with a bigger perspective, the more we connect with energetic joy. If we really knew how unhappy it was making this whole planet that we all try to avoid pain and seek pleasure—how that is making us so miserable and cut...ting us off from our basic goodness—then we would practice as if our hair were on fire. There wouldn’t be any question of thinking we have a lot of time and we can do this later." ~ Pema Chodron
