To change is to think greater than your environment.

Thought is responsible for fear. Thought is responsible for pleasure.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.

Albert Schweitzer

You can't buy a calm mind, you have to earn it.

Observe a stressful thought. Notice how your shoulders tense, your stomach tightens, you hold your breath. Keep watching that same thought. Don't push it away, instead change your reaction to it. Breathe deeply, let go, relax your body. You're okay. It's just a thought. Breathe.

Awareness is inherently pure like the empty sky. Stress, annoyance, and anger can temporarily occupy its space but can never pollute it.
