“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate.”

~ Elizabeth Gilbert

“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”

~ Deepak Chopra

“Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day.
Begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

That quote was written a VERY long time ago - but it still applies!

“Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.”

~ Morgan Freeman

“Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective.”

~ Doe Zantamata

We humans love to go go go.

Nonstop activity.

Even if it’s just scrolling on our phones.

You’re doing it right now, aren’t you? 😏

Learn to build in pockets of peace and quiet.

See how it feels . . .

“You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”

~ Louise Erdrich
