If we practice mindfulness, we always have a place to be when we are afraid.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.

Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.

We become the product of our recurrent thoughts. Writing is one method of explicating upon our thoughts, condensing multiple scenes, times, and ideas, and editing our fragmented beliefs.

Gladly accept the gifts of the present hour.

Love can be unselfish, in the sense of being benevolent and generous, without being selfless.

On the road from the City of Skepticism, I had to pass through the Valley of Ambiguity.

In painting, the most brilliant colors, spread at random and without design, will give far less pleasure than the simplest outline of a figure.

I feel like the Church should have the most amazing entertainment and the best music, because we know the author and the source of music and entertainment, which is our Father.

The thing that keeps me interested is that I love stories. I love going to movies and I love watching stuff that sparks ideas in my brain.

When I am presented with good work, I accept it. Wherever it is.

The Lord has never restricted Himself to move by any predetermined formula

Don't listen to anybody who's trying to bring you down. There's so much negativity in the world. If you really want something, then you go for it.
