Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions. ~ Pema Chödrön
If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind too. ~ Ivan Nuru
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. ~ Osho
