Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the care which will not withdraw from us.

Maya Angelou

23. Peace is life. Love is life. No river holds a grudge against a rock in its path. No leaf refuses to blow in the breeze. No plant denies water or sunshine. We, as human beings, have the gift of self-awareness, but this gift quickly turns to self-destruction if we do not learn to use it. We must learn to turn our minds towards the peace and love that are flowing within at any given moment. This is the key to serenity. This is the love mindset.

Vironika Tugaleva

Amit Ray

Maxime Lagace

30. In every chaotic moment you’re experiencing, there’s always a choice. Peace or worry? The choice is yours.

34. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, and it becomes the bottle. You put in a teapot, and it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
