I do some compassionate mindfulness every day. It's like a Buddhist thing. I tell myself that I'm doing a good job, that kind of thing. It makes me feel better.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that's my life; that's not my work. With my work, my job is to walk in another man's shoes.
I admire the fact that the central core of Buddhist teaching involves mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion.
I'm doing my best to be mindful about how I'm living: to be kind and patient, and not to impose a bad mood on somebody else. Being mindful is as good a way to be spiritual as anything else.
I don't really think about doing something kind, I think there's just a way to conduct your daily life with compassion to other people.
Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.
I do it because I want to exercise people's compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful.
Mindfulness has helped me succeed in almost every dimension of my life. By stopping regularly to look inward and become aware of my mental state, I stay connected to the source of my actions and thoughts and can guide them with considerably more intention.
I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
I find that once you start helping others, it makes you feel better about yourself. It helps you figure out what you want to do with your own life.
I'm pretty much done with mindfulness. I'm just going to start paying attention.
