Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
Eckhart TolleBeing aware of your breath forces you into the present moment - the key to all inner transformation. Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present. You may also notice that you cannot think and be aware of your breathing. Conscious breathing stops your mind.
Eckhart TolleLoss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
