The continual search for pleasure or security, searching for a more comfortable situation at the domestic or spiritual level, are some of the things that keep us unhappy. We will never have it all together, there is only this moment to live. If you live in the moment, you will find the joy you are seeking.
Friends can offer us encouragement, but they cannot live our lives for us or solve our problems for us. Within ourselves our daily devotions are the way to encourage ourselves to persevere. With others, encouragement is the way to be compassionate.
True growth comes from meeting and solving the problems of life in a way that is harmonizing to yourself and others. Serve others and cultivate yourself simultaneously. If you can do this, you will be continually renewed.
It is important not to be swept along by the bustle of life. If you are serious and composed, you will have the clarity of mind needed to come to terms with the innumerable impressions that pour in. At the beginning of things, it is important to have this clarity. The beginning holds the seeds of all that is to follow.
Quote: Economics is about human relationships.
