"Mindfulness is the art of cosmic collaboration."

"Time, place, and space for all things, but spending [the] majority of one's time playing in outer places, and far less time exploring inner space, is perhaps the worst form of neglect. Don't play yourself; the real you awaits."

"Everything changes. The leaves, the weather, the colour of your hair, the texture of your skin. The feelings you have today - whether they kill you or enthrall you - won't be the same tomorrow, so let go. Celebrate. Enjoy. Nothing lasts, except your decision to celebrate everything, everyone, for the beauty that is there within each moment, each smile, each impermanent flicker of infinity."

"Here's the thing about meditation, as I try once again to make it a habit... Even when I close my eyes to meditate for five minutes, body fidgeting, mind racing and worrying and busying itself with everything but the present moment, I still feel quieter, more relaxed when I open my eyes. Maybe it's just the simple act of giving myself five dedicated minutes of attention (no matter how they play out) to the calm, knowing soul that smiles from within at all of my mental nonsense. We are beings of peace after all. And of love. So much goodness, so much understanding and compassion lives inside each of us, like wide-eyed children, always ready to come out and play."

"If you can be aware that you have a living body, and notice when there's tension in your body, that's already an important insight."

"When we first wake up every morning, there's a calm in our minds. The challenge is to keep it there all day."

"Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what's happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what's happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self."

"Smiling Bloopers Insincere smiling can backfire! (Different from a shy smile that just beckons a friendly "hello.") Transitioning from a smile to a straight face, too quickly, may give others the impression that you are fake or do not like them. Going overboard and smiling all the time, especially when it is inappropriate, will make you appear insincere. If your mouth smiles, but your eyes don't, there is a disconnect that can make you appear less authentic and trustworthy."

"Passion is not just about the object of your focus or desires-it is the compelling emotion, fulfillment, and intense enthusiasm that it engenders."

"Are you being approachable when you are around new people? Ever not know what to say? Simply smile when you make eye contact. This is a subliminal invitation to help others feel safe-allowing a conversation to follow naturally."

"Unfortunately, unapproachable leaders create a tense environment that may prevent their people from bringing their best strengths and talents or challenges and solutions forward."

"Are you comfortable and willing to be of service to others, but find it difficult to receive the same in return? Why are people so quick to resist receiving, even when they need the help? Your ability to receive not only opens the space for great things to enter your life, but it returns a gift of grace to the giver."

"Since non-verbal signals have five times the impact of verbal signals, paying attention to the image you are projecting is crucial to your first impressions."

"A Sign of Respect. As our world grows more casual, we observe a tendency for everyone to use first names rather than surnames. "It is a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Young, has a completely different connotation than "Nice to meet you, Susan."

"Is your branding serving your needs for positive impact? Is it paving the way for a great first impression on people when they meet you, think of you, speak of you, or even see you on the Internet? If not, it's time for a change, and it is perfectly within your control."

"Think about the people in your life with whom you have the most engaging dialogue-the ones who will listen to you and consider your opinions regardless of the topic. They'll stop whatever they are doing to give you their full attention. They become completely present and hear you."
