Jon Kabat-Zinn Trying Quotations

There is just this moment. We are not trying to improve or to get anywhere else.

So, in meditation practice, the best way to get somewhere is to let go of trying to get anywhere at all.

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?
