The 'Before I Die' Project

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

– Elbert Hubbard –

The ‘Before I Die’ Project

Artist Candy Chang had an idea to turn an abandoned property in New Orleans into a sort of collective performance art piece in which all are invited to participate, simply by declaring what is important to them. Participants are invited to complete the sentence “Before I die I want to …” Chang has provided chalk, a large-scale blackboard, and the necessary permits. A thought-provoking piece of public art. { read more }

One thing worth taking seriously is the question: Before I die I want to … ? Reflect with others here. { more }

Becoming Someone

“…so you’re looking for answers but you’re not entirely sure about the questions. But you know you have to become someone. A SOMEONE.” That’s how this short, whimsical film opens. With fabulous music by Stephane Wrembel and creative out-takes from book stores (including a cameo by the filmmaker’s dog!), this is a journey about becoming someone, no one, and paying attention.

Alone But Not Lonely

Among the great things which are to be found among us, the Being of Nothingness is the greatest.

– Leonardo Da Vinci –

Alone But Not Lonely

An emerging body of research is suggesting that spending time alone can be good for us. Just as regular exercise and healthy eating make our minds and bodies work better, solitude, experts say, so can being alone. Sherry Turkle, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, makes the case for people to mindfully set aside time everyday when they are not engaged in so-called “social snacking” activities like texting, g-chatting, and talking on the phone. “People make this error, thinking that being alone means being lonely, and not being alone means being with other people,” John Cacioppo of the University of Chicago said. “You need to be able to recharge on your own sometimes. Part of being able to connect is being available to other people, and no one can do that without a break.” { read more }

Try spending some time alone today — without any “social snacking” 🙂

Kind Kids

Kindness to children, love for children, goodness to children — these are the only investments that never fail.

– Henry David Thoreau –

Kind Kids

Every parent wants to raise a kind, helpful child. But how? A recent study in Germany suggests that it might be easier than we think. According to the study’s authors, humans have a strong predisposition toward altruism, evident from the time they’re toddlers. The researchers found that it was surprisingly simple to motivate young kids to act on their altruistic instincts. When toddlers were subtly exposed to a simple background image of dolls facing each other, they became three times more likely to help someone in need. This article from Greater Good magazine explains further, offering grounds for optimism to anyone encouraging kids to be kind. { read more }

Ways to Connect More Deeply

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects

– Heman Melville –

7 Practices to Cultivate Compassion

Compassion is the radicalism of our time.

– Dalai Lama –

7 Practices to Cultivate Compassion

Scientific studies suggest that there are physical benefits to practicing compassion — people who practice it produce 100 percent more DHEA, which is a hormone that counteracts the aging process, and 23 percent less cortisol — the “stress hormone.” According to this guide, the key to developing compassion is to make it a daily practice, and it offers 7 different ways to incorporate it into everyday life. It also supports the practice of compassion not only to ease the suffering of those we love and meet, but even those who mistreat us. { read more }
