The more that we make friends with ourselves, we will see our mistaken thinking that the way to happiness is to blame somebody else for problems; we are the enemy.  We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also, we help others to work on ourselves.

What personal aspects prevent you from being independent?  This doesn’t mean that you won’t join others, but do so as an individual who cooperates just as much as necessary.  In this way you will never be lost in a group, and you will never fear being alone.

Trust the intelligence of your body, trust your natural responses and everything will fall into place.  When you speak, speak with quietude and sincerity, then your words will be long lasting.  Being natural in this way, you embrace everything, and everything embraces you.

Speaking clearly and acting simply in a nonaggressive manner with perseverance will help you succeed at any task.  The idea that “the yielding overcomes the rigid” or “the soft overcomes the hard” is the wisdom permeating these ancient teachings.

Quote: Unless you accept yourself, you can’t let go of yourself.
