“What I always managed to do is find people who had wonderful things to teach me – theseamazing mentors – and work with fantastic, fun colleagues. And I was always making moremoney than anybody else my age .”(05:25) (Mary)
“Everything I learned about entrepreneurship I learned from my neighbors.” (07:47) (Mary)
“With this contemplative practice all of these years, I somehow failed to recognize that I had a body. I was this brain walking around in a meat suit. What I was doing with my body was all superficial.” (21:25) (Mary)
“Whenever I define mindfulness for people I say, ‘Notice you didn’t hear the word ‘calm’ in there. And you didn’t hear the word ‘relaxation’ in there. And you didn’t hear the word ‘bliss’ in there. And you didn’t hear the words ‘clearing your mind’ or ‘stopping your thoughts.’” (24:07) (Mary)
“Your superpower should not be super. Your superpower is that you’re a human being and you understand how you operate. And, when you understand how you operate – and your own suffering and where that comes from and what that feels like, and your own regret, and your own shame, and your own pain – you don’t understand someone else through and through, but you are able to empathize. Your own pain is a bridge to somebody else.” (30:17) (Mary)
“You have a way of being no matter what. Whenever you walk into a room, you have a way of being, so what is it? Do you even know? Do you have a way of exploring that with yourself in a compassionate way? And do you have a way of being with and working with your own moment- to-moment experience?” (41:32) (Mary)
