Quotes to ponder:

"Paying attention is our own tool to disrupt the space time continuum; we can speed up or slow down our lives at will."

"Being present allows us to make fear-inducing decisions sooner because we stop medicating ourselves with thoughts that we can ignore the present."

"Our memories are etched based on how much attention we pay to a given moment, any moment."
