Quotes about mind principles

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it - Eckhart Tolle
The core message is that our pain doesn't come from what happens to us, but from our mental resistance to it. It's the story we tell ourselves about an event that causes the suffering, not the event itself.

Autonomy Quote
