Monday Musings: Inspiring Thoughts on The Art of Living

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

After a relaxing sunny weekend of gardening, reading and lollygagging, we greet a new week.  Our week promises to be busy with some business traveling involved.  Here are some of our favorite quotes that caught our attention today and inspired us.

 

“The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.” 

Alan Watts

 

“Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying  something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.”

Dalai Lama

 

“It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many conditions of happiness are available—more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run into the future in order to get more."

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

“People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.”

 Thich Nhat Hanh

 

"Compassion is not a religious business, it is a human business, it is not a luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival."

Dalai Lama

 

 
                           “As you breathe in, cherish yourself.
                          As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.”
                                                  Dalia Lama
 
 
 
Wishing you all a great week ahead.

Great quotes, Alexandra. People too often forget the power of staying silent. The Dalai Lama had it right...

“Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying  something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.”

HI Ron and Alexandra Seigel

"Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.” Dalai Lama

 

If we don't have the right words to say, we should stay silent. Sometimes that is more powerful.
