“Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

“Instead of saying ‘let it go,’ we should probably say ‘let it be.’ This recognizes that the mind won’t let go and the problem may not go away, and it allows you to form a healthier relationship with what’s bothering you.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

 

"He is rich who is content 

with the least;

For contentment is the

wealth of nature"

Socrates

Democritus meditating on the seat of the soul

Good business is: Do what you do better… and: Do more of what you do…

what will you do with your one life?






Fear engenders flattery, but it has no good will #Democritus #Mindfulness #Wisdom #Wise #Life
