Aspiration: Remembering What Really Matters

Beneath our everyday goals is a deeper longing: to love, to awaken, to create, to serve, and to become fully who we are. In this teaching, Tara Brach explores aspiration as the first foundation of a mature and liberating hope. When we lose touch with what truly matters, life can become mechanical or dispiriting. When we reconnect with our deepest intention, the heart softens and our energy begins to move again. Tara offers a simple inquiry for looking beneath a specific desire and discovering the larger purpose it is trying to serve.
