Hello wonderful people,
and welcome back to the Good Life News Letter : a selection of quotes and links I find worth sharing.
This is issue #38, on attention, ambition, and in the art of living beautifully.
and last days to enroll in the spring sessions of the wisdom workshop.
đ Quotes Iâm Considering
âThe way you do anything is the way you do everything.â
       â Tom Waits, musician
âThe art of living⌠consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.â
          âAlan Watts, writer and philosophical entertainer
âA master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which.â
        âL.P. Jacks, philosopher and Unitarian minister
đ Links on Attention and Ambition
1.) Bill Keaggyâs new TEDx talk on âHow to Find Attention, Mindfulness, and Creativity in the Ordinary.â Revelatory, funny, and encouraging. Via Austin Kleon.
2.) Rainesford Staufferâs âBrief But Spectacular Take on Rethinking Ambition.â What if we decoupled our worth from our achievements, or metrics?
3.) And what if our lives were like Magic Mirrors, similar to the one discovered last summer by the Cincinnati Art Museum?
4.) âThe Genius Strategies to Become a Better Listenerâ with Carolyn Coughlin from Cultivating Leadership via Knowledge Project Podcast.
