Awareness is found in our everyday life. Just be in the moment, this is our most profound teacher. We are just being there with our experiences, whatever they are; sometimes scary, sometimes profound.
In other cultures, personal contact is meaningful and closeness to the earth is a way of life. Connecting with your food, knowing who produced it, knowing where it comes from and giving thanks as we consume it will start connecting you with nature and others.
Live a creative life, carry your intentions to completion, find your roots and nourish them. When you know you have enough, then you are truly rich. Knowing yourself you know others; just stay in your center. If you can let go of things with your mind and surround them with your heart, the truth is everywhere you turn.
Times of adversity are the reverse of times of success, but they can lead to success by remaining cheerful, even if your words have no effect. In times of adversity, you can do nothing but acquiesce in your fate and be true to yourself, overcoming the trouble inwardly. If you are oppressed by something that should not oppress you, the situation will be overcome, but you must be patient and keep good for all in your heart.
Quote: Only look for good in all situations and how it can benefit you.
