"We canâ€™t change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it. Thatâ€™s the potential of meditation, of mindfulness. You donâ€™t have to burn any incense, and you definitely donâ€™t have to sit on the floor. All you need to do is to take 10 mins out a day to step back; to familiarise yourself with the present moment so that you get to experience a greater sense of focus, calm and clarity in your life."

-- Andy Puddicombe
