Smile, breathe, and go slowly

The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness.If in our heart we still cling to anything-anger, anxiety or possessions-we cannot be free.

The moment you wake up, right away, you can smile. Thats a smile of enlightenment. You are aware that a new day is beginning, that life is offering you twenty-four brand-new hours to live, and that thats the most precious of gifts.

Walk and touch peace every moment. Walk and touch happiness every moment. Each step brings a fresh breeze. Each step makes a flower bloom. Kiss the earth with your feet. Bring the earth your love and happiness.

To be beautiful means to be yourself You dont need to be accepted by others You need to accept yourself.

The purpose of the rose is to be the rose. Your purpose is to be yourself. You dont have to run anywhere to become someone else.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

Thich Nhat Hanh

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You do not need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

Thich Nhat Hanh

The moment you wake up, right away, you can smile. That’s a smile of enlightenment. You are aware that a new day is beginning, that life is offering you twenty-four brand-new hours to live, and that that’s the most precious of gifts.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
