“Be real. That’s part of being present.”

I would suggest that the next generation stop looking for happiness outside of themselves but instead turn inward.

Forgiveness isn’t about letting the other person off the hook – it’s about releasing ourselves.

Be faithful that your authentic power is all you need to truly share your light with the world.

Healing opportunities can be disguised as people who really piss you off. Pay attention because they could be your greatest teachers.

To begin your commitment to new perceptions, start by paying attention to attack thoughts toward yourself and others.

People carry around resentment for years! And that creates daily stress.

What makes me most happy is connecting with others. I love meeting new people, being social, and engaging in empowering discussions.

The more you retrain yourself to choose happiness over fear, the more blissful you will be.

Remember that you have a choice in what you see. If you choose to see a person’s darkness, you strengthen your darkness within. If you choose to see their light, you shine from the inside out.

The issue is that if you hold onto the resentment against yourself, you’re just going to recreate that destructive pattern in different forms because unconsciously it’s still a belief system that limits you.

When you repeat a new pattern often, you literally change the neural pathways in your brain. This shift helps true change settle in.

Happiness is your choice. You can choose today.

The moment you accept that there’s a guidance system supporting you, then you experience a new sense of freedom and peace.

When you focus on your greatness you elevate everyone around you.

Learning presence is a stress buster.

A miracle is a shift in perception. The moment that we choose to perceive our life with love, we can create miraculous change.

It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.

No one teaches mindfulness better than Thich Nhat Hanh.

There’s no problem so great it can’t be solved. If it can’t be solved, it’s not a problem, it’s reality.

Mindfulness does not mean pushing oneself toward something or hanging on to something. It means allowing oneself to be there in the very moment of what is happening in the living process – and then letting go.

Sati is life. Whenever we don’t have sati, when we are heedless, it’s as if we are dead.

If it isn’t good, let it die. If it doesn’t die, make it good.

If we practise like this and develop mindfulness continuously, wisdom arises quickly and this is a fast way of practice.

More than any previous time, people are drawn to meditation, to mindfulness, to yoga. These have become mainstream in the West because there is a hunger.
