“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
Buddha
“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ”
Steve Jobs
“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action. ”
Eckhart Tolle
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Viktor Frankl
“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).”
James Baraz
“In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived. How well we have loved. How well we have learned to let go.”
Jack Kornfield
““What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.”
Winnie-the-Pooh (A. A. Milne)
“Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience.”
Jon Kabat-Ziin
“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”
Ramana Maharshi
“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.”
Eckhart Tolle
“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
Lao Tzu
“The mind is just like a muscle—the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets and the more it can expand.”
