Every cell in our body is continuously changing, we are as impermanent as everything else. Thoughts and emotions of being competent, or that we’re hopeless, rise and fall unceasingly. We are only basing these thoughts on the past, but this also changes.
Do not pretend you are anyone but yourself, there is no need to feel insecure in your perceptions. Through self-cultivation undertake to perfect who you are, there is no need to try to become someone other than who you are. Accept life with its sad and happy moments, accept them all.
Respond to things in the appropriate way. Sometimes a good word can rationalize a selfish act, and a good deed can serve as a mask for living extravagantly from the misery of others. Therefore, all words and deeds must come from your heart, no motives.
A sudden shock ushers in rejuvenating potential. Something which has become stagnant can be re-energized or something which was stuck can be unstuck. This offers an opportunity to access and transform the newly released energy into a new direction.
Quote: Compassion is what connects all things.
