You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.

Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.

No matter how long your journey appears to be, there is never more than this: one step, one breath, one moment... Now.

Some people are stuck in tedious things, like their jobs, and they are bored. Other people experience one stressful thing after another.

Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.

Accept the present moment without judgement.

I don't pray for anything, but I have used affirmations in the past a few times. They are really a bit more like realizations in that on some level they have already happened.
