  • Every blessing is a reframed burden.
  • Gratitude is found in the palm of your hand once you loosen your grip.
  • Pain is a byproduct of clinging.
  • A cluttered home creates a cluttered mind, and a cluttered mind clutters the heart.
  • The future clutters the present moment whenever it blocks being.
  • The cost of letting go is less expensive than the cost of clinging.
  • Our memories are not in our things; our memories are inside us.
