“Instead of bracing yourself for the perils of the unknown, embrace the joy that is here, in your present moment.”

“Try and live in the present moment. Create appointments with yourself to specifically work on your mental picture. Then fall back into the present moment.”

“Remember always that you are just a visitor here, a traveler passing through. Your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown.”

“Because you are defined not by life's imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. And because there is joy in embracing - rather than running from - the utter absurdity of life.”

“Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.”

“Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy, but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.”
