Cease striving. Then there will be transformation.

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.

So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things. In stillness, he and the yin share a single Virtue; in motion, he and the yang share a single flow.

Impermanence and selflessness are not negative aspect of life, but the very foundation on which life is built. Impermanence is the constant transformation of things. Without impermanence, there can be no life. Selflessness is the interdependent nature of all things. Without interdependence, nothing could exist.

If you can be aware that you have a living body, and notice when there's tension in your body, that's already an important insight.

Nostalgia is an illness
for those who haven't realized
that today
is tomorrow's nostalgia.
