Recognition of the harm that patriarchy has caused to people and the planet does not mean that men are wrong and women are right rather it is a call for new organizational forms and for relishing gender differences within a context of equality.
Elizabeth Lesser
Over and over, we are broken on the shore of life. Our stubborn egos are knocked around, and our frightened hearts are broken open—not once, and not in predictable patterns, but in surprising ways and for as long as we live.
Elizabeth Lesser
If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms.
Elizabeth Lesser
May you listen to the voice within the beat even when you are tired. When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens your heart, expands your understanding and leads you to freedom.
Elizabeth Lesser
What mothers do - they act with love, at least good mothers do! They have a spirit of strong, fierce, protective energy - the way a mother would put her life on the line for her children - we need to put our life on the line for each other.
Elizabeth Lesser
We can be the one to take the first courageous step toward the other and to do something or to try to do something other than rejection or attack. We can do this with our siblings and our mates and our friends and our colleagues. We can do this with the disconnection and the discord all around us.
Elizabeth Lesser
We don't need anymore empowered people who are all about the ego.
Elizabeth Lesser
When we slow down, quiet the mind, and allow ourselves to feel hungry for something that we do not understand, we are dipping into the abundant well of spiritual longing.
Elizabeth Lesser
How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change
Elizabeth Lesser
Fear is a sneaky thief, stealing away precious moments of your life.
Elizabeth Lesser
I would say to women, always question what you're empowering yourself for and what are you claiming power for.
Elizabeth Lesser
Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.
Elizabeth Lesser
See what's happening to our sisters around the world. I'm very interested in the protection of women globally.
Elizabeth Lesser
Read any of the top-selling business books, all of them talk about moving away from a top down manner of leading to a more inclusive one. It's not happening over night, but if you read the winds of change in most of the democracies in the world we are moving toward shared levels of power.

One does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.
Elizabeth Lesser
If family and society tell you its unfeminine, not really womanly, to be aggressive, to speak up, to have strong opinions, to take up space, then women won't trust their own voice, because to be heard and to be influential, you've got to have a way to sing out with passion and love and self-trust - to sing out your song for everyone to hear.
Elizabeth Lesser
The person who takes the first step in a conflict toward the other, those are brave people.
Elizabeth Lesser
Many women hear the word feminine and feel like it's a noose around their neck. Don't hold me to a mode of behavior because I'm a woman and you think this is how a woman should act, kind of thing.
Elizabeth Lesser
What will matter is the good we did, not the good we expected others to do.
Elizabeth Lesser
Even if your difficult time comes at you out of the blue - like cancer - even those times, opens your heart to the magic and power of life, and gives you this inner commitment to live every moment.
