The Mindful Way

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.
- Anais Nin


There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. 
- Herman Hesse


"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.  We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly.  We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then,
is not an act but
a habit. "
- Aristotle
