Wouldn’t it be fantastic if, at the end of this pandemic, we come out of it kinder. Maybe this is a wake up call - our chance to change the world by turning up our compassion. We were born with it, now is the time to give it out – gift-wrapped.

How to build a great human being is by teaching your child how to step into other people’s shoes imagining how that person feels. Forget how much money you made or what a big deal you were; teaching your kid empathy would go down as your greatest contribution to the world.

Doing a silent retreat is like iron man for your brain, each minute a living hell. You reach for a distraction and they’ve been removed - like a junkie, you beg for your iPhone. A few days later, when your mind shuts up, it’s like a summer’s day being inside you. Free at last.
