“If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.”

“If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.”
“We believe that happiness is possible only in the future. The conditions for our happiness are already sufficient. We only need to allow ourselves to be in the present moment, and we will be able to touch them.”

This is a lovely book that provides a little something to ponder over each day until the end of the year :)
Every year I pick an ongoing read of quotes or meditations. Something #thoughtprovoking to start my day with. #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading
"This is your own time. This spot where you sit is your own spot. It is on this very spot and in this very moment that you can become enlightened. You don‘t have to sit beneath a special tree in a distant land. Practice like this for a few months, and you will begin to know a profound and renewing delight." #dailyinspirationalread
Thich Nhat is ongoing daily meditation so it's not on Reading list. Normally I have Book in Print(Phryne), Kindle(Gallagher Girls) & Audio on phone (N&S). It helps reach my Challenges. As long as they are different genres I don't get mixed up. Then have to pick up your taxes & mind says"you're block away from the library" Suddenly you've got 2nd Print Book (Paris) &CDs (Whim is right)#aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading #booknerdproblems #aprtbr
"... when we are fully mindful of our body, and living in the here and now, we are in our true home."
Day 9
"We believe that happiness is possible only in the future. That is why the practice “I have arrived” is very important. The realization that we have already arrived, that we don‘t have to travel any further, that we are already here, can give us peace and joy. The conditions for our happiness are already sufficient. We only need to allow ourselves to be in the present moment, and we will be able to touch them."
"Your true home is in the here and now. It is not limited by time, space, nationality, or race. Your true home is not an abstract idea; it is something you can touch and live in every moment."
