There comes a time when the bubble of ego is popped and you can’t get the ground back for an extended period of time. Those times, when you absolutely cannot get it back together, are the most rich and powerful times in our lives.

Nothing in its essence is one way or the other.

Mindfulness is loving all the details of our lives, and awareness is the natural thing that happens: life begins to open up, and you realize that you're always standing at the center of the world.

We can stop thinking that good practice is when it’s smooth and calm, and bad practice is when it’s rough and dark. If we can hold it all in our hearts, then we can make a proper cup of tea.

Each time you stay present with fear and uncertainty, you're letting go of a habitual way of finding security and comfort.

Use your life to wake you up.

Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. Why? Because it is all we ever have.
