The antidote to exhaustion may not be rest. It may be wholeheartedness. You are so exhausted because all of the things you are doing are just busyness. There's a central core of wholeheartedness totally missing from what you're doing.

From experience we know that whenever we are truly awake and alive, we are also truly grateful.

Only gratefulness, in the form of limitless openness for surprise, lays hold of the fullness of life in hope.

Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.

At any moment the fully present mind can shatter time and burst into Now.

If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.
