Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better and we can prepare for a better future.

There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.

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.

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.
