17. Power of Perception
No one can make you angry
without your permission.
Goal: Take responsibility for our
own upset and, in turn, teach
children to be responsible for their
own behavior.

18. Power of Unity
We are all in this together.
Goal: To perceive
compassionately, and offer
compassion to others
and to ourselves.

19. Power of Attention
What we focus on, we get more of.
When we are upset, we are always
focused on what we don’t want.
Goal: To create images of expected
behavior in a child’s brain.

20. Power of Free Will
The only person you can make
change is yourself.
Goal: Learning to connect and
guide instead of force and coerce.

21. Power of Acceptance
The moment is as it is.
Goal: To learn to respond to what
life offers instead of attempting to
make the world go our way.

22. Power of Love
See the best in others.
Goal: Seeing the best in others
keeps us in the higher centers of
our brain so we can consciously
respond instead of unconsciously
react to life events.

23. Power of Intention
Mistakes are opportunities to learn.
Goal: To teach a new skill rather
than punishing others for lacking
skills we think they should possess
by now.

24. Perhaps the most valuable result of all education
is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to
do,
when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not;
it is the first lesson that ought to be learned;
and however early a man’s training begins,
it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
—Thomas H. Huxley

25. Radical Responsibility
E + R = O & S
Event + Response = Outcome &
Solution

outside ourselves for the solution to our
problems.”

28. The reign of God is ―in the heart.‖ It
does not come with pomp and splendor,
like the reign of temporal kings, merely
to control the external ―actions‖ and
strike the senses of people with awe,
but it reigns in the heart by the law of
God; it sets up its dominion over the
passions, and brings every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ.
– Barnes notes on the BIBLE

29. Peace comes from Within.
DO not seek it without.
– Buddha

36. We suffer because we grasp and
obsess;
We can do something about suffering;
We can live a spiritual life.
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or,
lo there! for, behold, the kingdom
of God is within you. Luke 17:21
―Peace comes from Within;
DO not seek it without.‖ Buddha

know from history and today; Joan of Arc,
David, Gandhi, Dalai lama, Mother Theresa,
M. L. King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Desmond

St. Francis, FethullahGulen,
MalalaYousafzai, they were willing to risk
their lives,
their social comforts and acceptance
to pursue virtue-infused ideals.

42. 7 Social Sins
Wealth without Work
Pleasure without Conscience
Knowledge without Character
Commerce without Morality
Science without Humanity
Worship without Sacrifice
Politics without Principle
– Mahatma Gandhi
8th sin added by Arun Gandhi, his
grandson:
Rights without Responsibilities

44. I grew up among the Sages.
All my life I listened to their words.
Yet I have found nothing better than silence.
Study is not the goal, doing is.
Do not mistake “talk” for “action.”
Pity fills no stomach.
Compassion builds no house.
Understanding is not yet justice.
Whoever multiplies words causes confusion.
The truth that can be spoken
Is not the Ultimate Truth.
Ultimate Truth is wordless,
the silence within the silence.
More than the absence of speech,
More than the absence of words,
Ultimate Truth is the seamless being-in-place
that comes with attending to Reality.
—Shimon benGamliel
