#mindfulness techniques
When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.
Dalai Lama
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one’s true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Ramana Maharshi

Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already.
Pema Chödrön
The way to live in the present is to remember that ‘This too shall pass.’ When you experience joy, remembering that ‘This too shall pass’ helps you savor the here and now. When you experience pain and sorrow, remembering that ‘This too shall pass’ reminds you that grief, like joy, is only temporary.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
George Eliot
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman
