Every moment is unique, unknown, completely fresh.

If you ask why we meditate, I would say it's so we can become more flexible and tolerant to the present moment.

Don’t worry about achieving. Don’t worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can.

It isn't the things that are happening to us that cause us to suffer, it's what we say to ourselves about the things that are happening. The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself.

Once you create a self-justifying storyline, your emotional entrapment within it quadruples.

One can appreciate & celebrate each moment — there’s nothing more sacred. There’s nothing more vast or absolute. In fact, there’s nothing more!
