Sunday quote: The heart’s capacity

Mindfulness meditation doesn’t change life.

Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever.

Meditation changes the heart’s capacity to accept life as it is.

Life remains as it is. Meditation lets us see, accept, and love things as they are instead of dramatizing them through our judgment.

Wonderful reminder in few words.
Thanks for finding and sharing these words.
