I love many of the lines; while reading, they touched my core.

A few are:

"We must know how to use social media proportionately, or we can be used by it."

"We live in a world of duality; everything has its flip side, but if we can live in a state of gratitude, we can accommodate both."

"The mindset is the key to crafting joy; the opposite of that is comparison, which is the thief of joy."

"In our modern society, the missing syndrome is leading to a mental health calamity as we have constant access to compare our lives with those of others."

"If you can learn to enjoy being in the present, the fear of missing out will not be able to hurt you."

"Regardless of the weight, it is how long we are carrying it that can cause injury."

"Isn’t it ironic that when we are born, people love us, and when we die, people love us, but in between, we have to manage somehow?"

"Accept both compliments and criticism with grace. It takes sunlight and rain to help a flower grow."

"Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering the quiet that is already there, buried under 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks daily."

"The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because that is a portion of your life that you will never get back”

"In any case, self-forgiveness is foundational in moving on and rising above those negative feelings. "

"What we tell ourselves is more important than what others tell us."

"When the head is hot, the tongue works faster than the mind. Once words have left our mouths, they become permanent. We should never make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions."
