Gabby Bernstein's words are in bold. My comments are in italics.
- "The wound is the place where the light enters me"
- Quoting someone wise and probably religious, Gabby references her dark past and history with drugs as a time in which she was able find within herself an opportunity to clean her life up. You can't be in the clouds without sometimes being in the dirt.
- "The only way to survive sometimes is to have a meditation practice"
- As a society, we're hitting our wit's end. Competition is getting harder, people are working more, and the pressure on us to succeed is getting higher and higher. We need to appreciate the value of not-doing something in the moment in order to manage a life of constantly doing things.
- "Do something, not nothing"
- Not related to the last quote- this is about how to work. If you want to succeed, or experiment, or anything, you need to be doing something. Act. Do. Create. Put it out there. And then you learn, fix, and repeat.
- "Keep it simple, but be consistent"
- Don't try to take on a challenge all at once. Do small things, over and over and over.
- "I'm more impressed with someone who meditates for 1 minute a day for a year than with someone who does an immersive 3 day meditative retreat and doesn't ever do it again."
- There are so many people trapped in the cycle of what other people want for them. Trust your intuition.
- Don't do what others tell you is the right thing for you. Listen to their advice, but don't take it unless your intuition guides you toward it. Your intuition is what tells you what will make you happy.
- I’m seeking creative solutions
- Make that phrase your mantra. Constantly repeat it to yourself, and soon creative solutions will begin to manifest in your mind and your life.
- When the time is on you, the pressure will be off
- Amazing thought. Get into the battle, and you will be ready to face the challenges that arrive.
