“Mindfulness isn’t difficult, we just need to remember to do it.”

Kindness is really at the core of what it means to be and feel alive.

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.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That’s a fact but one we fight.

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

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make.

The starting place for radical re-imagining of love is mindfulness.

We can free ourselves from the old stories that have reduced us & allow real love for ourselves to blossom.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others.

Thinking we are only supposed to have loving & compassionate feelings can be a terrible obstacle to spiritual practice.

Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.

It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn’t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn’t depend on how long you’ve held on to the old view.

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.

We can understand the inherent radiance & purity of our minds by understanding metta. Like the mind, metta is not distorted by what it encounters.

All forms of meditation strengthen & direct our attention through the cultivation of three key skills: concentration, mindfulness & compassion or loving & kindness.

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

There is nothing more difficult than waking someone who is only pretending to be asleep.

When one works and imagines and dreams of nothing else than the search for answers that God has posed, it is difficult to be so still.

The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.

It is difficult for a man to speak long of himself without vanity.

A very important but difficult piece of renewing relationships is accepting responsibility for our part in any conflict.

Mash up tells me how difficult it is to stay loyal to one song.

It is a common failing of mortals to deem the more difficult the fairer.

The most beautiful lessons are the hardest, and letting go is the most difficult out of the rest to do.
