No change occurs if we just let our habitual tendencies and automatic patterns of thought perpetuate and even reinforce themselves, thought after thought, day after day, year after year. But those tendencies and patterns can be challenged.

When hearing a door creak, the optimist thinks it's opening and the pessimist thinks it's closing.

There is definitely openness to others' suffering that is dealt not with distress but with compassion.

Transform our way of perceiving things, we transform the quality of our lives.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

Isn't it the mind that translates the outer condition into happiness and suffering?

We cannot study everything at the same time.
