Curtis Tyrone Jones

You have to learn where your weaknesses end and your strengths starts or you will spend your life focusing on all that falls apart.

Nikki Rowe

If we feel good, we can keep going in the direction of the reality we’re creating. If we don’t feel good, we may reflect upon our beliefs and change them according to the reality we do wish to create.

Alaric Hutchinson

All the tools, techniques and technology in the world are nothing without the head, heart and hands to use them wisely, kindly and mindfully

Rasheed Ogunlaru

Thought doesn't wrap around awareness. Awareness wraps around thought.

One of the best ways to support the development of patience is to cultivate happiness with yourself.

Allan Lokos

Understanding the true nature of things, or seeing things as they really are, is the ground of wisdom.

Allan Lokos

Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else. - Don Juan

Alaric Hutchinson

Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts.

Allan Lokos

If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.

Sharon Salzberg

When your life gets to the stage of being mindful and concerned with impacting and blessing lives, then you are pursuing wholeness as an individual.

Sunday Adelaja

The divine is in the present and you must be present to experience it. When you vacate the present and recede into your mind, allowing worries or work to remove you from the moment, you leave the plain upon which the divine dwells. When you are constantly under the anesthetic of digital distraction, you withdraw; you are no longer conscious, and therefore are in no fit state to commune with the sacred. If you wish to hear the answers you seek, you must be present to hear them. If you wish to partake in the insights there to be known, you must be present to receive them. If you wish to know the divine, you must be present to meet it. …you must be present.

L.M. Browning

It takes courage to become authentic. So many talk about the light but not enough speak the truth about the struggles it takes to get there and the tools to overcome it all.

Nikki Rowe

Open the window of your mind. Allow the fresh air,new lights and new truths to enter.

Amit Ray

Think of the old cliché about the mind being 'an excellent servant but a terrible master'. This, like many clichés, so lame & banal on the surface, actually expresses a great & terrible truth.

David Foster Wallace

Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.

Robin S. Sharma

The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.

Pema Chödrön

The present is all we have, yet it is the one thing we will never learn to hold in our hands.

Madeleine Thien

Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone.

Rashedur Ryan Rahman

We may be living past and future lives at the same time we are living this one.

Doug Dillon

True beauty is measured by the number of pearls within you, not those around your neck.

Suzy Kassem

We have negative mental habits that come up over and over again. One of the most significant negative habits we should be aware of is that of constantly allowing our mind to run off into the future. Perhaps we got this from our parents. Carried away by our worries, we're unable to live fully and happily in the present. Deep down, we believe we can't really be happy just yet—that we still have a few more boxes to be checked off before we can really enjoy life. We speculate, dream, strategize, and plan for these "conditions of happiness" we want to have in the future; and we continually chase after that future, even while we sleep. We may have fears about the future because we don't know how it's going to turn out, and these worries and anxieties keep us from enjoying being here now.

Thich Nhat Hanh

If you know how to be happy with the wonders of life that are already there for you to enjoy, you don't need to stress your mind and your body by striving harder and harder, and you don't need to stress this planet by purchasing more and more stuff. The Earth belongs to our children. We have already borrowed too much from it, from them; and the way things have been going, we're not sure we'll be able to give it back to them in decent shape. And who are our children, actually? They are us, because they are our own continuation. So we've been shortchanging our own selves. Much of our modern way of life is permeated by mindless overborrowing. The more we borrow, the more we loser. That's why it's critical that we wake up and see we don't need to do that anymore. What's already available in the here and now is plenty for us to be nourished, to be happy. Only that kind of insight will get us, each one of us, to stop engaging in the compulsive, self-sabotaging behaviors of our species. We need a collective awakening. One Buddha is not enough. All of us have to become Buddhas in order for our planet to have a chance. Fortunately, we have the power to wake up, to touch enlightenment from moment to moment, in our very own ordinary and, yes, busy lives. So let's start right now. Peace is your every breath.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Baseless victimhood is usually the last stage before outright aggression.

Stefan Molyneux

Treat everyone you meet as if they were you.

Doug Dillon

There is no key to open the heart of another - except curiosity.

Stefan Molyneux

True happiness, we are told, consists in getting out of one's self; but the point is not only to get out - you must stay out; and to stay out you must have some absorbing errand.

Henry James

Do not ruin today with mourning tomorrow.

Catherynne M. Valente

In the end, just three things matter:How well we have livedHow well we have lovedHow well we have learned to let go

Jack Kornfield

Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.

Marcus Aurelius

Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind.

Roy T. Bennett

Looking at beauty in the world, is the first step of purifying the mind.
