      I feel like people are always seeking advice from outside sources about how to make their life better. They should just stop and think about themselves and they will get much further. People commonly need that push.

Mindfulness: The Art of Cultivating Resilience | This Emotional Life - 0 views

  • Mindfulness is the practice of bringing our awareness to what we are experiencing in the present, both internally and externally, without judgment (Kornfield, 2009). I

      A well spelled out definition of mindfulness 
  • Compassion: You hold the intention not to judge yourself or others. You are mindful of your self-talk. However, if you do judge yourself, you don't judge yourself for judging. You are kinder and more supportive. If mindfulness brings the wisdom to see clearly, then compassion brings a loving heart (Neff, 2011). Acceptance: You increasingly accept the facts, which you can distinguish from the feelings. Acceptance isn't about "giving up". It is having the strength to "let go" of control and stop fighting reality. Openness: You're progressively open to viewing even the most difficult situations as opportunities for growth. You trust that they have something to teach you, and you expect to learn. Creativity: You draw on your power to visualize and create the results you desire. At the same time, in the spirit of acceptance, you are not attached or fixated upon your own expectations.

      This tittle is very well written and very quotable. This could be argued as the answer for the meaning of life. Simply take, then give back to the world, repeat. In my opinion this is a good three step process to live by.
  • We do have an ethical responsibility.
  • With incentives often misaligned from the greater good, I have come realize how difficult this commitment truly is and how important it is to develop supportive environments for designers and creative professionals to channel their energies in the most wholesome way.  We should relentlessly ask not only how to design things better, but what a better world really means.

  • t is precisely because innovators have the tools to bring about positive and visionary change that there should be an emphasis on ethics in creative work, entrepreneurship, and capitalism.

      This strikes me as very controversial. The author claims that it is essentially the moral responsibility for the design for the purpose of bettering the world. As poetic that sounds, in reality designers often build with the intent of personal capital gain.
