You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf
To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.
Step outside for a while – calm your mind. It is better to hug a tree than to bang your head against a wall continually.
Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Every morning we are born again. What we

“How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience, and therefore, the quality of our lives.”
“Training your mind to be in the present moment is the number one key to making healthier choices.”
“Mindfulness is deliberately paying full attention to what is happening around you– in your body, heart, and mind. Mindfulness is awareness without criticism or judgment.”
“Mindfulness meditation doesn’t change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart’s capacity to accept life as it is.”
“Mindfulness meditation should be more than just watching what you are doing. What you really need to watch is your motivation.”
