You come to the profound understanding that thoughts and feelings (including negative ones) are transient. They come and they go, and ultimately, you have a choice about whether to act on them or not.

Meditation is not about accepting the unacceptable. It is about seeing the world with greater clarity so that you can take wiser and more considered action to change those things that need to be changed.

You may be astonished by how much more happiness and joy are attainable with even tiny changes to the way you live your life.

Mindfulness teaches us that thoughts are just thoughts; they are events in the mind.

Mindfulness brings you back, again and again, to full conscious awareness: a place of choice and intention.

In these times of maximum stress and confusion, we learn the most, for it is when we see the most compelling thoughts as mental events—rather than truly reflecting reality—that we glimpse the possibility of freedom most of all.

We don’t see the world as it is but as *we* are.

Tiny actions can fundamentally alter your relationship to the world for the better.
