A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
Another word that a warrior doesn’t use is worry. Worry is a passive form of fear, which comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “to choke or struggle.” You don’t want to choke or struggle. So don’t worry. Be actively concerned. Better yet, be curious.
The Rock Warrior's Way
Arno Ilgner
According to the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the quality of our relationships at age fifty is the greatest predictor of our health and well-being at age eighty.16 Life comes from our connection, is supported by our connection, and creates connection. We are happiest and healthiest when we are contributing to and drawing from our collective life force. This idea is the basis of my fourth secret for you: You are never truly alone. Connecting with community amplifies our individual life force by realigning it with the collective life force.
The Well-Lived Life
Gladys McGarey and Mark Hyman
Both Joan and John are manifestly at peace. Both are ready to give up inordinate amounts of time to help others in this strange training, with minimal ostensible reward except for the joy of sharing it, and both seem to have given up their own agenda in favor of others’. And they enjoy their lives more than anyone else I know. You feel it when you’re with them. You see it in their eyes. They’re at peace, free, full of quiet energy, acutely intelligent, and loving. That’s another thing. This dharma training seemed to make people uncommonly articulate, engaging, sensitive, intuitive.
