Authors of our own life


     “We have the innate capacity for a more accurate seeing, for learning, growing, healing, and transformation across our entire lifespan. You are the authority and the author of your own life. If you are always paying attention to other people’s lives rather than your own, you are missing not only the point, you are missing your life. The challenge is to live your life as if it really matters. And to be conscious of how you conduct your life – from what you eat and drink to the newspapers you read and the television programs you watch, to how you are in relationship with everything with those you love, with nature, with your body, with the world.”                  Jon Kabat-Zinn
