Emotion Quote by Nhat Hanh

“An emotion is only an emotion. It's just a small part of your whole being. You are much more than your emotion. An emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm. If you're aware of that, you won't be afraid of your emotions.” quote by Nhat Hanh — Download Open image
