Onemindfully | One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon--instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie |

Effectiveness | "In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? " --Mary Manin Morrissey |
Nonjudgmental stance | The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. --Eckhart Tolle |
Observing | The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. --Eckhart Tolle |
Emotion Mind | "Holding onto your anger is like clutching a vibrating pole. The harder you clench, the more every part of your being vibrates in reaction." --Kare Anderson |
