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

When you begin to see that your enemy is suffering, that is the beginning of insight.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.

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

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness.
