Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.

The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention.

We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

We spend our lives searching for something we think we don't have, something that will make us happy. But the key to our deepest happiness lies in changing our vision of where to seek it.

If you go deeper and deeper into your own heart, you'll be living in a world with less fear, isolation and loneliness.

What comes up is not nearly as important as how you relate to what comes up.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others

Mindfulness allows us to watch our thoughts, see how one thought leads to the next, decide if we're heading down an unhealthy path, and, if so, let go and change directions.

Peter would not have been successful if God had not helped him

Amidst the dim & desolate backdrop that was my world, a seed of hope bloomed into a garden of joyous wonder.

It was so nice just to live in the moment, to enjoy holding him so closely, to pretend for a little while that they were merely two young people in love and nothing else.

The only way you can be the best at something is to be the best you can be.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

We may anticipate bliss, but who ever drank of that enchanted cup unalloved?

He that is never on his knees on earth shall never stand upon his feet in heaven

In any profession, there are always ups and downs.

I've been in New York for going on five years now, and I always thought I would make a mark and do something but I never thought it would be this big of a deal. I'm so blessed and I'm truly honored.

I would start a revolution, but I just bought a hammock.
