The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.
If you learn to respond as if itโs the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.
At any moment the fully present mind can shatter time and burst into Now.
...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart.
Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual.
The greatest gift one can give is thanksgiving. In giving gifts, we give what we can spare, but in giving thanks we give ourselves.
