The simple secret of happiness

Don't let the past or future move your mind or disturb you. To live in memories or in imagination is to live in the non-existential, which means you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.

Osho

Peace can exist only in the present moment

It is ridiculous to say: “Wait until I finish this, then I will be free to live in peace.” There is always another “this” that will follow the present one. If you truly want to be at peace, you must be at peace right now. Otherwise, there is only “the hope of peace some day.”

Rumi

If you quit now...

Quem muito se abaixa...o cú aparece.
