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

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

Distraction wastes our energy, concentration restores it.

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.

Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.

Meeting people in a genuine way and feeling like there is a vital and meaningful connection going on makes me come alive.

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.
