Between the mind and the body, there is something that can serve as a bridge. The moment you begin to practice mindful breathing, your body and your mind begin to come together with one another. It takes only ten to twenty seconds to accomplish this miracle called oneness of body and mind. - Thich Nhat Hanh

The difference between a trained mind and an untrained mind lies in the ability of pausing, looking at that and sensing whether it is necessary or not. An untrained mind doesn't think at all; everything just happens. That is simply called habitual patterns. - Khandro Rinpoche
Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
- Guillaume Apollinaire When you make a commitment, you must make it with your feet, which means to walk on the right path and stand firmly. Do not make your commitment with your mouth, all talk and no action. - Cheng Yen
It is an astonishing fact that very few people think, though many think they do.
- Christmas Humphreys Happiness is as a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. – Henry David Thoreau
If you do what is unwholesome, do not repeat it or take pleasure in making it a habit. An unwholesome habit will cause nothing but suffering. If you do what is wholesome, keep repeating it and take pleasure in making it a habit. A wholesome habit will cause nothing but joy. - Buddha
People respond differently to the same situation. This difference ultimately comes from a person’s state of mind. - Doyeon Park
Make friends with everything 𑁋even fear, even obstacles in our own lives. What we call obstacles become opportunities, poisons become medicines, problems become solutions. - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
There is a crucial difference between accepting and managing past situations and wallowing in them, assuming a victim mentality. What others may have done to you is their karma. How you respond is yours. Constant remembrance and scrutiny of the past are harmful. Letting go is vastly superior to reliving and rehashing it.
