    A worthy list, Pretti. I know the feeling … indeed we all need to be reminded that we ave the power to cross the shore of noise and chaos to peace and calm any time we choose. No matter how frantic life gets we always have the inexorable right to take command of our mind.

  2. Dawn says:

    That’s a great list. You can feel the tension dissolve as you read it.

    Interesting to see how many of them were about letting go of the past and future and simply concentrating on today. There is wisdom in that.

  3. ayo says:

    What a wonderful verse about peace at the top of the page!
    All other quotes are precious. But I like most “Honor the past,
    Live in the present, Create the future.” This is more close to the reality of life.
    Good Post, ZenGirl.

    Hi Preeti,

    Great list! Some I read them before and some are new to me, but all of them are great!

    May I add one of mine?

    “When we isolate from the noise, we realize we are still alive, so the noise wasn’t so important after all”

  11. ZenGirl says:

    Angela,

    You are so right, being productive and “on go” can make you resent the life, peace is so much more precious than anything I have right now and I wish I had it. I am working on it. Thank you for chiming in and your friendship.

  12. ZenGirl says:

    Rob,

    How are you? Yes, we all need peace and quite to reflect and go forward. Sometimes life gives us so much noise, and sometimes we as people make so much noise! 🙂 Peace is bliss.

  13. Aileen | Kaizen Vision says:

    Preeti, I love this collection of quotes.
    “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength.” It’s amazing how easy it is to worry and yet there’s such little benefit to it.

    The poem you have at the top of the post is brilliant. I hadn’t heard it before. Thank you for sharing it

    🙂
