“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”

Henry David Thoreau
“Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be. ”
Sonia Ricotti
“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
“Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.”
Mother Teresa
““What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.”

Buddha
“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
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”
Sir Frances Bacon
“In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived. How well we have loved. How well we have learned to let go.”
