Moments of Reflection and Inspiration
I'm genuinely curious to know who or what inpires and motivates you, and how? I remember in my younger years at college, studying the great modern dancer, Martha Graham, reading some of her notable quotes and feeling moved.
"We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same.”
“Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”
"The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost.”
These words of wisdom remind me to keep practicing that which is important to me; to stay connected to my passion; and to truly be myself.
Lately, notable quotes of wisdom have been shared through the TV show, Ted Lasso. Have you seen it? They are rooted in mindfulness and feel relevant in today's world:
“Be curious, not judgmental.”
“There’s two buttons I never like hittin’, and that’s panic and snooze.”
“When all’s said and done, what’s more important, being loving or being right?”
“Just listen to your gut… and on the way down, check in with your heart.”
These are just a few of the many noteworthy Ted Lasso-isms!! These quotes inspire me to integrate the Attitudes of Mindfulness into my daily life. Attitudes like non-judging, patience and trust, acceptance, and letting go, which can support us through the ups and downs of life. And with Ted Lasso, there are loads of laughs, heartfelt moments, motivation, and deep care. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!
Now I want to hear from you! Through your mindfulness lens, who or what inspires and motivates you? Tell me more.
Warmly,
Julia
