Our root fantasy is that "I" am real and that it's possible for "me" to be happy.

Movement is good for the body. Stillness is good for the mind.

Running and meditation are very personal activities. Therefore they are lonely. This loneliness is one of their best qualities because it strengthens our incentive to motivate ourselves.

We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.

If you see life as an opportunity, or if you see helping others as an opportunity, then all of a sudden you become joyous. You want to go forward.

Part of the notion in Shambhala teachings is that everybody can live their lives so they get weaker and more stressed out as they go along, or so they get more fortitude and strength.

The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.
