“We can’t fully appreciate a picturesque sunset if we’re wishing it would never rain again. We can’t fully enjoy a moment of true connection if we’re wishing we’d never feel alone again. We can’t fully savor a relaxing day if we’re wishing we’d never be busy again. The key to happiness is to focus less on making moments last and more on making the moments count.”
― Lori Deschene, Tiny Wisdom: On Mindfulness

“When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.”
― Jean Shinoda Bolen

“We can’t hate ourselves into a version of ourselves we can love.”
― Lori Deschene

“Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you—to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain.”
