Via mindfulness we can make the choices today, that will pre-pave the desired outcomes for all of our tomorrows. Via mindfulness we put ourselves in the flow of life, where life is no longer a series of "good" and "bad" moments, but about living with ease, contentment, wellbeing, and inner peace. Ultimately mindfulness requires action, with the first step being to make mindfulness a priority in your life.”

― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Did you ever think, child," she said, presently, "how much piecin' a quilt's like livin' a life? And as for sermons, why, they ain't, no better sermon to me than a patchwork quilt, and the doctrines is right there a heap plainer 'n they are in the catechism. Many a time I've set and listened to Parson Page preachin' about predestination and free-will, and I've said to myself, 'Well, I ain't never been through Centre College up at Danville, but if I could jest git up in the pulpit with one of my quilts, I could make it a heap plainer to folks than parson's makin' it with all his big words.' You see, you start out with jest so much caliker; you don't go to the store and pick it out and buy it, but the neighbors will give you a piece here -and a piece there, and you'll have a piece left every time you cut out a dress, and you take jest what happens to come. And that's like predestination. But when it comes to the cuttin' out, why, you're free to choose your own pattern. You can give the same kind o' pieces to two persons, and one'll make a 'nine-patch' and one'll make a 'wild-goose chase,' and there'll be two quilts made out o' the same kind o' pieces, and jest as different as they can be. And that is jest the way with livin'. The Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut 'em out and put 'em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there's a heap more in the cuttin' out and the sewin' than there is in the caliker.”
― Eliza Calvert Hall, Aunt Jane of Kentucky

“As your choices are shaped by what we believe is real and true, right and wrong, good and beautiful, in every action that we take, we are doing one of the two things: we are either helping to create a hell on earth or helping to bring a foretaste of heaven.

In other words, we are either advancing the rule of Satan or establishing the reign of God.”
― I'Ching Thomas, Jesus: The Path to Human Flourishing: The Gospel for the Cultural Chinese

it’s not the right or wrong choice you made,
it’s about the opportunity.”
― Laura Chouette
