The whole purpose of letting pain be pain is this: to let go of pain. By entering into it, we see that we are strong enough and capable enough to move through it. We find out that it ultimately has a gift for us.

More quotes by Matthew Fox
We honor life when we work. The type of work is not important: the fact of work is. All work feeds the soul if it is honest and done to the best of our abilities and if it brings joy to others.
Matthew Fox
The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.
Matthew Fox
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
Matthew Fox
Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.
Matthew Fox
I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians, but if that's Christian, count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell.
Matthew Fox
When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.
Matthew Fox
A job is something we do to get a paycheck and pay our bills. Jobs are legitimate, at times, but work is why we are here in the universe. Work and calling often go together.
Matthew Fox
We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.
Matthew Fox
I'm not saying I want a film career because I think I'm too good for television. I'm simply saying I want more control over my life.
Matthew Fox
Im not really a tropical paradise kind of person.
Matthew Fox
To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river.
Matthew Fox
It is precisely the despair of our times that convinces me that a renaissance is right around the corner.
Matthew Fox
We must work on our souls, enlarging and expanding them. We do so by experiencing all of life-the beauty and the joy as well as the grief and pain. Soul work requires paying attention to life, to the laughter and the sorrow, the enlightening and the frightening, the inspiring and the silly.
Matthew Fox
Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.
Matthew Fox
Compassion is not pity ... compassion never considers an object as weak or inferior. Compassion, one might say, works from a strength born of awareness of shared weakness, and not from someone else's weakness. And from the awareness of the mutuality of us all. Thus to put down another as in pity is to put down oneself.
Matthew Fox
Pain destroys the illusions of false, that is, elitist pleasures. It burns from the inside out. It, therefore, sensitizes us to what is truly beautiful in life.
Matthew Fox
The prophets preach . . . that pleasure, not will-power and coercion, is how you most deeply transform people.
Matthew Fox
When it comes to wilderness animals we have to make an effort to preserve what areas we can that they can be themselves in. Its come to a point though, clearly, where some species have to be cared for by humans if they are not going to disappear altogether.
Matthew Fox
Humor and paradox are often the only ways to respond to life's sorrow with grace.
Matthew Fox
A lot of people want to see this idealized version of heroism, all pretty and perfect, and I'm not interested in playing the goody-goody hero at all.
