Life is a series of moments. The quality of attention and action that we bring to each moment determines the quality of our lives.

In the real world, those of us who are most productive, successful, and satisfied focus not on fixing feelings or manipulating thoughts, but on what needs to be done-and then doing it-no matter what thoughts or feelings arise.

When in haste, rest in the present. Take a deep breath and come back to here and now.

Faith is the courage to live your life as if everything that happens does so for your highest good and learning. Like it or not.

Your body is malleable; you can sculpt it over time with daily habits of diet and exercise. The law of accommodation reminds us that the body may change slowly, but it will change.

As we stop monitoring others' opinions, we connect with our heart's wisdom.

I'd always believed that a life of quality, enjoyment, and wisdom were my human birthright and would be automatically bestowed upon me as time passed. I never suspected that I would have to learn how to live - that there were specific disciplines and ways of seeing the world I had to master before I could awaken to a simple, happy, uncomplicated life.
