“When you're wide open, the world is a good place.” — Sharon Salzberg Quote

“When you're wide open, the world is a good place.”

“It's difficult to admit to ourselves that we suffer. We feel humiliated, like we should have been able to control our pain. If someone else is suffering, we like to tuck them away, out of sight. It's a cruel, cruel conditioning. There is no controlling the unfolding of life.”

“The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless.”

“Chicago was a good place for me. Maybe New York will be better.”

“I'm never doing anything by rote. I'm only on thin ice, and I think that that's a good place to be. I feel like when you push yourself like that, the rewards can be pretty great.”

“There's nothing simple when you're in this 'Good Place.'”
