Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.

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

It is so powerful when we can leave behind our ordinary identities, no longer think of ourselves primarily as a conductor, or writer, or salesclerk, and go to a supportive environment to deeply immerse in meditation practice.

Meditation has made me happy, loving, and peaceful-but not every single moment of the day. I still have good times and bad, joy and sorrow. Now I can accept setbacks more easily, with less sense of disappointment and personal failure, because meditation has taught me how to cope with the profound truth that everything changes all the time.

Compassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.

Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine
