Quotes about Mindfulness

Do what is important rather than what is urgent.

If there is one message to glean from this wisdom, it is that a meaningful life is not a matter of speed or efficiency. It's much more a matter of what you do and why you do it, than how fast you get it done.

Many of us find that increasing our speed only makes things worse.

Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. We can subordinate feelings to values.

Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment.

We are not our feelings. We are not our moods. We are not even our thoughts. The very fact that we can think about these things separates us from them and from the animal world.

Before a performance, a sales presentation, a difficult confrontation, or the daily challenge of meeting a goal, see it clearly, vividly, relentlessly, over and over again. Create an internal "comfort zone." Then, when you get into the situation, it isn't foreign. It doesn't scare you.

No one can hurt you without your consent.

Peace and love are ever in us, being and working; but we be not alway in peace and in love.
