Books Quote by S.J. Scott

“James Baraz in his book Awakening Joy, “Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).” quote by S.J.
