The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don’t wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.
Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.
I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
Sleep is the best meditation.
You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
Memories consume Like opening the wound I’m picking me apart again You all assume I’m safe here in my room Unless I try to start again.
In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you.
No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world.
Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
Meditation makes you sharper, happier, and intuitive. Don’t you want intuition? Don’t you want the right thought to come to you at the right time?
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.
