Smile

Posted by PJ under mindfulness, optimism, pessimism, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is. A pessimistic attitude can never create the calm and serene smile which blossoms on the lips of Bodhisattvas and all those who obtain the way.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness

You are what you do

Posted by PJ under action and activism, decisions, fulfillment, mindfulness, quote of the day, success
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“We all have different desires and needs, but if we don’t discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled. Sooner or later, we are all asked to compromise ourselves and the things we care about. We define ourselves by our actions. With each decision, we tell ourselves and the world who we are. Think about what you want out of this life, and recognize that there are many kinds of success.

—Bill Watterson, “Some Thoughts On the Real World By One Who Glimpsed It and Fled,” Kenyon College Commencement, May 20, 1990

Look around

Posted by PJ under mindfulness, miracles, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

 

“People usually consider walking on water or on thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk on either water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes.  All is a miracle.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness
