Mindfulness transforms even the most mundane of actions into sacred actions. Any moment can become a meaningful moment where we encounter life deeply—whether we’re washing the dishes, washing our hands, or walking to the bus stop.

The art of dwelling happily in the present moment is the practice most needed in our time.

Life is available only in the present moment, and we already have more than enough conditions to be happy.

Happiness is not something that arrives in a package in the mail. Happiness does not fall out of the sky. Happiness is something we generate with mindfulness.

We need to train ourselves to keep coming back to our breath and our body. Every time we reunite body and mind, we are reconciling with ourselves.

The number of days we have to live is not so important. What matters is how we live them.

Happiness is a habit. It’s a training.

The art of happiness is the art of living deeply in the present moment. The here and now is the only time and place where life is available and where we can find everything we are looking for, including love, freedom, peace, and well-being.

As soon as we realize that in this very moment we already have enough, and we already are enough, true happiness becomes possible.
