To abandon the present in order to look for things in the future is to throw away the substance and hold onto the shadow.
Nhat HanhAs you embrace your pain, you get relief and you find out how to handle that emotion. And if you know how to handle the fear, then you have enough insight in order to solve the problem. The problem is to not allow that anxiety to take over.
Nhat HanhIf we know how to create the energy of love, understanding, compassion, and beauty, then we can contribute a lot to the world.
