Jon Kabat-Zinn Quote
When it comes right down to it, the challenge of mindfulness is to realize that this is it. Right now is my life. The question is, What is my relationship going to be? Does my life just automatically happen to me? Am I a total prisoner of my circumstances or my obligations, of my body or illness, or of my history? Do I become hostile or defensive or depressed if certain buttons get pushed, happy if other buttons are pushed, and frightened if something else happens? What are my choices? Do I have any options?
