Mindfulness helps us to set boundaries by revealing what makes us unhappy & what brings us peace.

We can travel a long way in life and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. it is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home.

We don’t need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

We can't control what thoughts and emotions arise within us, nor can we control the universal truth that everything changes. But we can learn to step back and rest in the awareness of what's happening. That awareness can be our refuge.

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening.

The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.
