“Calm the mind, change the world”

Michael Acton Smith 

"Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health."

Dalai Lama

“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

 Lao Tzu

“It’s hard to translate it exactly, but the closest word is chokkshay, which is a very deep and spiritual word that means ‘the knowledge of enough.’ It basically means that right here, right now, everything is perfect as it is, regardless of what you are experiencing outside.”

Dr. Dorji Wangchuk, Himalayas of Eastern Bhutan

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“The path begins with cultivating appreciation of our oneness with others through generosity, nonharming, right speech, and right action. Then, on the foundation of these qualities, we purify our minds through the concentration practices of meditation. As we do, we come to experience wisdom through recognizing the truth and become deeply aware of the suffering caused by separation and of the happiness of knowing our connection with all beings.”

Sharon Salzberg

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

The 14th Dalai Lama (1935)

Head Monk of The Gelugpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism

“When you write down a list of “three good things” that happened that day, your brain will be forced to scan the last 24 hours for potential positives –.”

Shawn Achor

The greatness of a man is not how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Bob Marley

When we take time to notice the things that go right - it means we're getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day.

Martin Seligman

"Resilience: The capacity of the body and mind to undergo significant stress arousal and recover from it, returning to a baseline equilibrium so that allostasis is restored.  Each time we experience significant stress and fully recover; we widen our window of tolerance to stress arousal and thereby increase resilience." 

Dr. Elizabeth Stanley

“Grief and resilience live together.”

Michelle Obama

“To be resilient, it is essential to clean out the closet in your head of past or current traumas, so they no longer control your future.”

Dr. Amen, American psychiatrist and brain disorder specialist.

Dr. Ginsburg developed the 7 C's model to center around these critical ideas. “First, children and teens live up or down to the expectations that (we) adults set for them. The young people need us (adults) to hold them accountable to high expectations and love them unconditionally. Second, modeling resilience for kids and teens is more important than discussing it.”

Resilience there are two kinds: Systemic what you are born with, you built through your life. Processive is what you bring to the fight that you don’t even know yet what will come, but through this struggle will come strength.

Dr Rahul Jandial

“Slow down, you're doing fine, you can't be everything you wanna be before your time.”

Billy Joel, lyrics from 'Vienna' 

“When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.”

Echart Tolle 

"Impatience is a sign of hurrying; hurrying is a sign of worrying; worrying is a sign someone forgot time is on their side." ~ Mike Dooley

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

Lao Tzu

"Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly."
