We cling to out identities of jealousy, anger and addictions. They are like clouds blocking the sun, all the time the warmth and brilliance is right there. We don’t need to change, just be who you are, look at yourself differently from your usual way. We already have everything we need.
We must not accept the judgement of others as a measure of our own self worth, instead live your life simply without comparison. We all have flaws, take stock of yours according to your own judgement and use them as a measure for self improvement.
When we think we know the answers we are difficult to guide. When we realize we don’t know it becomes easy to find our way; by keeping your mind open you become aware of numerous possibilities. The ancients taught of the supreme value of “Don’t-know Mind”.
An exhausting situation can be caused by not having enough or being overwhelmed by having too much. If you are stuck in an exhausting situation, discover the cause and seek a solution. Merely complaining and being resentful will only make the situation worse.
Quote: Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. – Ovid
