Quotes by Miguel Chen  (?)

“An authentic life is a different sort of life. Unrehearsed behaviors lead to spontaneous interactions. A day spent with no expectations leads to unexpected wonders. A simple moment becomes an infinite moment, carrying with it the implications of total power.”
Miguel Chen, The Death of You: A Book for Anyone Who Might Not Live Forever

“If, in our human lives, we are moving up and down constantly through the levels of rebirth, then we must see the potential in each moment: the potential to improve, and the pitfalls we risk if we don't commit to living better. We can see that none of it is permanent, and so we simply try our best. We can even learn to see each moment, each breath, as a practice in taking in and letting go, or being born and dying, only to be reborn again. Rebirth teaches us that we can always be better, in life or after it.”
Miguel Chen, The Death of You: A Book for Anyone Who Might Not Live Forever

“if we live like we breathe, taking in and letting go, we can’t go wrong.”
Miguel Chen, I Wanna Be Well: How a Punk Found Peace and You Can Too
