Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, ‚Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.‘

As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

Between stimulus and response, there is a space where we choose our response.

A great hallmark of mental wellness is the ability to be in the present moment, fully and with no thoughts of being elsewhere.

The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.

Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I’ve already had, my face pretty much maintains itself.

Forget the past.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.

I need to keep working on myself for a while.

There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

I always wanted to be loved.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

Sometimes I try to just sit at home and do something calmer and simpler and just be in my life. You know, not trying to solve a lot of things at once.

There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones, and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.

It’s hard to practice compassion when we’re struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

Sometimes, women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health.

Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.

It’s physical. If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.

I wonder how many decisions we make every day. I believe it’s probably hundreds. We decide whether or not to get out of bed, what we’ll eat, what we’ll do, what we’ll think about, what we’ll say… and on and on.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.

Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.

The first wealth is health.

Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space.

No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.

Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

I’m very, very serious – I’m serious enough not to take myself too seriously. That means I can be completely wedded to the moment. But when I leave that moment, I want to be completely wedded to the next moment.

I never thought I’d land in pictures with a face like mine.

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you’re waiting for the elevator – instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.

People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.

Die to everything of yesterday so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigor and passion.

We never look deeply into the quality of a tree; we never really touch it, feel its solidity, its rough bark, and hear the sound that is part of the tree. Not the sound of wind through the leaves, not the breeze of a morning that flutters the leaves, but its own sound, the sound of the trunk and the silent sound of the roots.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

I never do anything that I don’t want to do.

Being happy is a matter of personal taste.

The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe.

My body is quite tiny, but a lot of the emotions I feel are pretty explosive. They have to come out.

It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there’s nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.

No one wants to see curvy women.

Love other human beings as you would love yourself.

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other’s well-being, is source of happiness.

I have the habit of attention to such excess, that my senses get no rest – but suffer from a constant strain.

Once I realized that right thinking is vital to victorious living, I got more serious about thinking about what I was thinking about, and choosing my thoughts carefully.

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.

I’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.

A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.
