Being present doesn't mean you pay $35 and you feel good about yourself about one hour.
- Simon Sinek
A very american thing we've done, wich is we've taken this wonderful Eastern philosophies like yoga and meditation, and we've actually made them selfish pursuits.
- Simon Sinek
The reason why we meditate is because we learn things like calm and quiet and focus. And when you meditate, you have a thought and you learn to label that thought and put it out of your head and deal with it later. So that when you're with a friend and they're talking, you're not thinking about your next thought. You put your thought aside and you're listening entirely to what they're saying. You focus on one thing wich is them.
- Simon Sinek
You do not get to say when you're being present. You are present when somebody else says you are.
- Simon Sinek
Technology has made us more disconnected from one another. We've forgotten what it means to really be in the moment. You are not present until, at the end of a conversation, your friend says, "Thank you for listening - I feel heard."
- Simon Sinek
