Stop struggling, it’s not about winning or losing, but about ceasing to struggle and relax as it is.  That is what we are doing in our self cultivation practice.  It’s about being in the moment without struggling, just be, let this attitude spread to the rest of your life. 

If you ever doubt life, you just need to spend some time in nature and admire the diversity.  Everywhere you look there is some dynamic event in progress.  Our schemes and aesthetics are imperfect.  Our minds cannot comprehend the diversity of nature.  Variety is vitality.

To be the best leader, keep your words in harmony with your actions.  This way, those you lead will feel they have done the work themselves; they will be hardly aware that you exist.  If you don’t trust people, you make them untrustworthy.

Energy that is renewing itself must be allowed to reinforce itself by rest.  The return of health after illness, the return of understanding after estrangement, both must be treated tenderly and with care at the beginning so that the return may lead to flowering.

Quote: The most important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.
