How Compassion Fuels Creativity

What do you care about so much that it cracks your heart open?

In this moment when everything was gone; I could still choose love, I could choose to be an instrument of love, I could send loving intentions to another human being. The other thing I realized is that ultimately that is all that matters.

The question isn't how smart are you. The question is how are you smart.

What drove me was excellence, I wanted to be as good as I possibly could.

Creativity is the capacity that all of us have, that can be harnessed to any particular end. We can focus our creativity on creating great community or we can focus our creativity on building bombs. You can be a creative sniper or you can be a creative nurse.

The right relationship between creativity, the mind, and compassion of the heart is for the creativity to serve the passion.

I recognized what is important for me in life, it is not necessarily the doing as much as the being; the doing emerges out of the being.
