All of us, including animals, believe the best way to live is to avoid pain and discomfort.  A more interesting way to live is to be curious whether the object of our curiosity is bitter or sweet.  We can endure a lot to find out how we tick and how the world ticks.

When we can still the mind, thinking of nothing, worrying about nothing.  This action or non-action will bring you stillness and peace.  Keep changing your daily practice until the restlessness naturally recedes and stillness is all that remains.

If you want to become a better person, study that which serves the nature of life, and then offer it to the world.  If you study with devotion, and do so wholeheartedly, all things in the universe will be in harmony and everything in your life will reflect this practice.

Having the courage to face things exactly as they are without illusions, you will be able to recognize the path to success.  This recognition should be followed by resolute and preserving action, this way you will be able to surmount any obstacles in your path.

Quote: It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
