When you start to get angry, pause instead of acting in your usual habitual response. But, at the same time, be honest with yourself to how you are feeling, you’re not suppressing anything. Suppression is not about being patient, being patient is having a gentle honest relationship with yourself.
Use the cycles of life to establish a measure for your life and then arrange your plans to the units you have chosen. This way you will always be able to track your own progress in both your short- and long-term goals. Remember in all cycles after the zenith there must be a decline.
Embrace simplicity and integrity, consume only the needs of your body and soul. Allow your love and concern for others to define your essentiality. If this is not enough, stay in your center and let all things take their course, then you will benefit a hundredfold.
If we can bring ourselves to set aside pride and follow the examples of good people, good fortune will result. If we associate with people sharing the same views and come together in full public knowledge without selfish motives, then you are in harmony with the times.
Quote: There is a force within that gives you life. Seek that. Rumi
