Awareness IS your opportunity.
Becoming mindful of your own reactivity is the first step toward a form of practical enlightenment.
The more reactive you are, the more you are stunted and cut-off from experiencing the full measure of life's grand endowment.
Reactivity is the opposite of mindfulness; it is a mindless, stray, erratic, and accidental state of semi-consciousness.
Reactivity is the birthplace of ignorance, and the graveyard of potential.
The reactive mind is a crippled mind, because it limits and distorts everything.
They are not listening; they are mentally interrupting behind a facade of listening.
Like a traumatized, caged animal convulsing behind bars, the reactive mind and tongue squirms and digs behind clenched teeth to escape, and interrupt.
The reactive mind is a monster; it is the feral reflex of animal survival — uninhabited by higher consciousness.
Being oblivious to your own reactivity is unrefined and gluttonous — it's appetite for gobbling up your opportunities has no end.
