“Love is the hardest habit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy” - Drew Barrymore
“Acknowledging that sometimes, often at very crucial times, you really have no idea where you are going or even where the path lies. A the same time, you can very well know something about where you are now even if it is knowing that you are lost, confused, enraged or without hope.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a goft. That is why it's called the present. - Master Oogway
There is no substitue for books in the life of a child. - Mary Ellen Chase
"If you remember that life is fluid you’ll never feel stuck. Nothing is the end all or your only option. When something ends, it’s your time to start something new. It doesn’t matter how often doors close if you’re always moving forward. Don’t dwell or try to open those old doors. The more you keep moving, the more you’ll see life is working in your favor." —unknown
In a world that pressures us to identify who we are before we have lived enough to know, better we allow ourselves to befriend our confusion until it clarifies... Society may be in a hurry, but the soul prefers to take its own sweet time... - Jeff Brown, Soulshaping

Befriend your confusion. Don't be fooled by its chaotic appearance, confusion is a sign that your soul is in transition. Welcome it as a friend that has come from far away to bring you home. - Jeff Brown
It’s easy to blame the “monkey mind” for our perpetual anxiety, but its far more productive to drop down into the body and clear the “monkey heart” that sources it. Patriarchal spiritualities prefer it if you avoid your feelings altogether and fixate on the mind. But it just doesn't work, because the originating traumas are held within the body. - Jeff Brown

Until we stop blaming the mind, and recongnise that anxieties stem from the unresolved emotional body, there will be no liberation. - Jeff Brown
"Practice is a willingness to quiet and sense what you really value from a place of stillness and then develop the capacities to live from that understanding." – Jack Kornfield
It's not at all that mindfulness is the "answer" to all life's problems. Rather, it is that all life's problems can be seen more clearly through the lens of a clear mind. - Jon Kabat-Zinn
