See how everything is temporary, and wanting it to be permanent will only cause you to suffer. And then see how letting go of that wishing, and accepting the changing nature of things, and being unattached to each moment of those changing things, will help you to be calmer and happier. Embrace the non-attachment. Embrace the changing nature of things as beautiful. Accept the impermanence.

Keep it simple, and focus on what you have to do right now, not on playing with your system or your tools.

Doing a huge number of things doesn’t mean you’re getting anything meaningful done.

Failure is simply an indicator that something in our method needs to be changed.

Realize that failure isn’t a reason to judge yourself.

Happiness isn’t in the future, it’s not somewhere else. It’s available right inside us, right now, all the time.

Create your own source of built-in happiness. Walk around as a whole, happy person, needing nothing. Then come from this place of wholeness, of self-reliance and independence, and love others. Not because you want them to love you back, not because you want to be needed, but because loving them is an amazing thing to do.

Pause. Breathe. Let all of that fade.

Knowing thousands of recipes doesn’t feed you, unless you start cooking.

The point of simple living, for me has got to be: A soft place to land A wide margin of error Room to breathe Lots of places to find baseline happiness in each and every day.
