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.
The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.
-Tich Nhat Hanh
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendor of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to the day!
Such is a salutation of the dawn.
-Kalidasa
Nothing. Everything. Anything. Something.
If you have nothing then you have everything
because you have the freedom to do anything
with the fear of losing something.
-Jarod Kintz
If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together,
there is something you must remember.
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
even if we’re apart,
I will always be with you.
-A. A. Milne
Have patience with everything unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves.
Don’t search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
Live everything.
Live the questions now.
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way to the answer.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Let us choose day to quench our thirst
for the ‘good life’ we think others lead
by acknowledging the good that already exists in ours.
We can then offer the universe
the gift of our grateful hearts.
-Sarah Ban Breathnach
