““What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.”

“Mindfulness is not a mechanical process. It is developing a very gentle, kind, and creative awareness to the present moment.”
Amit Ray
“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ”
Steve Jobs
“The mind is just like a muscle—the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets and the more it can expand.”
Idowu Koyenikan
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
Buddha
“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Seneca
“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).”
James Baraz
“A few simple tips for life: feet on the ground, head to the skies, heart open-quiet mind.”
Rasheed Ogunlaru
“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
Lao Tzu
“Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience... It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.”
Sylvia Boorstein
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside awakens.”
Carl Gustav Jung
“The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favorable.”
