"We don’t sit in meditation to become good meditators; we sit to live better lives." - Pema Chodron

It may be lovely, peaceful, to "become a good meditator," I wouldn’t know! I didn’t start meditation to be spiritual or saintly but to stop my spinning mind, heal anxiety and endless worry. What I found is "we sit to live a better life." Have the courage to stay with real, true, disciplined meditation. Find a Teacher and take the path less traveled, the one that in critical times, holds our fragile humanity to the soul’s greater and "better life."
