You can't be more alive than you are—but you can awaken to what living is.

Zen teaches that our approach to today determines our whole approach to life.

If you find your feet dragging, check your path. You are probably on the wrong one.

Do not analyze things to death. Sometimes the best strategy is, "Ready, fire, aim." Do it first , then make adjustments. The answer lies in action-not in words.

All things reflect the divine energy of nature—every flower, every rock, every sound, every sight. Once we realize that truth, we cannot help but smile.

there is no yesterday or tomorrow; there is only this moment. Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. Three hundred sixty-five days a year.

When mind and action are separate, zen is lost. We keep the two in sync by paying attention.
