Carl Gustav Jung
“Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience.”
Jon Kabat-Ziin
“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action. ”
Eckhart Tolle
“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
“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
“The mind is just like a muscle—the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets and the more it can expand.”
Idowu Koyenikan
“How you look at it is pretty much how you’ll see it.”
Rasheed Ogunlaru
“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.”
