When you have one foot in the future and the other in the past, you piss on the present.

Meditation is just simple brain exercise. I exercise and this made sense to me.

What meditation does is allow you to actually survive these emotions as opposed to compartmentalizing and having them come up and make you a shithead in other areas of your life. The alternative is to be miserable, and I don't think we're living in a wise way when we do that.

Meditation suffers from a towering PR problem.… If you can get past the cultural baggage, though, what you’ll find is that meditation is simply exercise for your brain.

If you're meditating and it's easy, you're either enlightened or you're cheating.

The act of catching yourself wandering and coming back to your breath is a bicep curl for your brain.

The getting lost and recovering - that is the meditation.
