"If we spend our time wrestling with negative, excessive worrying, or hopeless thoughts, we’re practicing unhappiness."

"If we spend our time noticing and acknowledging these unhelpful habits of the mind, without judgment, we can then choose to turn our attention to matters that walk in line with greater happiness and sense of peace."
