“In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.”

“Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.”

“Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference – in our own lives and those of others.”

— Sharon Salzberg

"We have a choice between being better or bitter, choosing the former heals the heart and mind"

" When we can embrace the unpleasantness of life, the fear of things going wrong no longer paralyses us"

Bouncing back does not mean we ignore the pain that we feel, we respect it as a lesson of what we have yet to understand about life"

— Angie Chew
