Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.

Where there is love there is life.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.

The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings.

Empathy is the most mysterious transaction that the human soul can have, and it’s accessible to all of us, but we have to give ourselves the opportunity to identify, to plunge ourselves in a story where we see the world from the bottom up or through another’s eyes or heart.

 

Quotes on Mindfulness

The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.

Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now.

 

Quotes on Authenticity

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

The authentic self is the soul made visible.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
