The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.

Many people think excitement is happiness.... But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.

Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.

If we are not peaceful, if we are not feeling well in our skin, we cannot demonstrate real peace, and we cannot raise our children well either.
