There’s one overriding issue, namely, that we live in a police state so long as the police get to police themselves. And that is why cops go unindicted.

To separate yourself from your weakness and look at it objectively is a very powerful thing.
In meditation we experience the silence from which all creativity springs. The act of creation – whether from a blank page to a poem, an empty space to a building, a thought to a song or film – starts with a void. The more intimate a relationship we can build with that silent void, the more clearly the art can shine through and spring forth. Meditation is the vehicle to connect to that silence.” – Rick Rubin, Malibu 2013.
You can decide that no matter what is happening around you, the sun will always be shining in your world. Or you can decide that your world is always going to be a cold, dark place.
That’s because the truth is, the only things that are going to bring lasting happiness to your life are good health and knowledge of self, which lead to a compassionate relationship with the world.
True happiness lies in being compassionate and appreciating the world and our circumstances, rather than being coldhearted and greedy. We often realize too late that our favorite moments are those spent simply with the people we love. In seeing the miracles that unfold around us every day. Eventually we all come to understand that our happiness is derived from being present in the moment. Why wait until the end of your life to discover this Truth?
The beautiful thing about meditation is that it allows you to access that cool guy or girl inside of you that’s waiting to come out.

That feels like you’re moving toward your goals without frustration and anxiety. That feels ecstatic to be alive! The more I meditate, the more I have these moments.

After my first experience via yoga, I became incredibly focused on experiencing that sense of stillness again. The stillness that reminded me that I could be a better person, a better friend, a better citizen of the world, as well as a better businessman.
Without stillness, life is a blur.

Our bodies are designed to remain in balance, and when they go out of balance, a natural mechanism has been interfered with.” – DEEPAK CHOPRA Not.
What I’ve always tried to explain to those artists is that the reason they’re feeling out of whack is because they got too caught up in the celebrating. If you’re an artist, what truly makes you happy isn’t buying new cars or popping bottles. It’s making beautiful music for other people to enjoy. That’s it. You’re going to be your happiest when you’re in the studio writing a song, not when you’re out celebrating how many records that song eventually sold.
