Jonathan Keltz Quotes

Enjoy simple things with total intensity. Just a cup of tea can be a deep meditation.

I try to take each moment at a time.

Take three conscious breaths. Just pause. Let it be a contrast to being all caught up. Let it be like popping a bubble. Let it be just a moment in time, and then go on. Maybe you are on your way to whatever you need to do for the day. You are in your car, or on the bus, or standing in line. But you can still create that gap by taking three conscious breaths and being right there with the immediacy of your experience, right there with whatever you are seeing, with whatever you are doing, with whatever you are feeling.

Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. When you hold your cup, you may like to breathe in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present. And when you are truly there, something else is also there - life, represented by the cup of tea. In that moment you are real, and the cup of tea is real. You are not lost in the past, in the future, in your projects, in your worries. You are free from all of these afflictions. And in that state of being free, you enjoy your tea. That is the moment of happiness, and of peace.

In this moment, there is plenty of time. In this moment, you are precisely as you should be. In this moment, there is infinite possibility.

There's a Zen to acting, by being in the moment. That's where the power is.

As long as you're fully present in what you're doing at the moment, you're doing it.

I like to escape to the beach and kind of ground myself whenever I can.

Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
