Sarah had once said that life was better when you acted like a sapling in the wind, twisting and bending when needed, so that the roots stay strong and whole.
“The clutter we live with is a distraction itself. This isn't to say that mindfulness is not attainable without our surroundings being clean; we have to learn to be mindful in the real, imperfect world.”

“In the end, we can do many helpful things by structuring our environment, but the world is imperfect and hence there will always be distractions. A true mindfulness habit includes the acceptance of these distractions, and the growing ability to either ignore the useless ones, or to remain mindful while engaging with the uncompromising demands.”

“Everyone has their own stuff. And it's imperative to recognize that it will bubble up more as mindfulness is developed. It's like a cleansing process. The less desirable elements need to be recognized and processed.”

“gratitude puts us in a state of appreciation for the way things already exist. When we are grateful, we aren't grasping for future rewards, nor are we dwelling on past mistakes. This is directly in line with what mindfulness is about.”
