You need to accept yourself.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLetting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything \u2013 anger, anxiety, or possessions \u2013 we cannot be free.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don\u2019t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child \u2014 our own two eyes. All is a miracle.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause you are alive, everything is possible.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don\u2019t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWaking up this morning, I smile.

In either case, we learn nothing.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you suffer and make your loved ones suffer, there is nothing that can justify your desire.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnderstanding means throwing away your knowledge.\u201d \u2015 Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is said that God has created man in his own image.
