Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. (21)

Whatever is your present experience, you can recognize the spaciousness that allows it to be. You are this spaciousness, this awareness, this love. Deeper love and more spacious awareness is the best lesson you can get from any experience.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.

Wherever you are is the perfect place to awaken. This moment is the exact place to practice compassion and loving awareness. You have all the ingredients to breathe and find freedom just where you are.

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?

Focus on where you are instead of where you wish you were. The joy will follow.

I wish that I was where I am.

In this moment, there is plenty of time. In this moment, you are precisely as you should be. In this moment, there is infinite possibility.

I live in the present moment.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

I know that the purpose of life is to understand and be in the present moment with the people you love. It's just that simple.

You can be happy where you are.

When you master the art of being fully awake to this moment, you bestow a precious gift on your soul - the experience of love. Being present is the art of the soul.

By relinquishing your obsession with the past and your fantasies about the future, you can tap into the power of the present and feel the force of love that resides inside of you.

It is possible to live happily in the here and the now. So many conditions of happiness are available - more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run into the future in order to get more.

With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.

I have an intention to live each moment fully.

I try to just stay in the present moment as much as possible.

I have no definition of life. Just be happy and don't think about the past.

I've found a way to live in the here and now.

I am loved and accepted exactly how I am, right here and right now.

It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful.

Accept that living in the present moment, with your present desires, is the best, the highest thing you can do.

Today, I choose awareness. I choose to be aware of the beauty of life and living. I choose to be aware of the simple pleasures in life. I choose awareness of joy, awareness of peace, and awareness of love.
