“Breathing in, I calm my body.
Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment,
I know this is a wonderful moment!”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

Our appointment with life is in the present moment. If we do not have peace and joy right now, when will we have peace and joy ― tomorrow, or after tomorrow?

What is preventing us from being happy right now?

As we follow our breathing, we can say, simply, “Calming, Smiling, Present moment, Wonderful moment.”
