1. What moves you?
2. Do you see what I see?
3. What change do you want to see in the world?
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
– Buddha, 500 B.C.
