“The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favorable.”
Matthieu Ricard
“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
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”
Sir Frances Bacon
“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Seneca
“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
“Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience... It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.”
Sylvia Boorstein
“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
Lao Tzu
“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
“How you look at it is pretty much how you’ll see it.”
Rasheed Ogunlaru
“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
“Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be. ”
Sonia Ricotti
“Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.”
