Others will show you where you are stuck.  They say or do something and you automatically react in your familiar ways of shutting down or getting worked up.  This gives you a chance to see your patterns and work with them, being honest and compassionate with yourself.

If you are walking the same path as another person walk it together as long as you can, but when you must part, do not hold your companion back.  We may understand philosophically why a companion must leave, but do not deny your feelings as you walk on alone.

Practice undiscriminating virtue, eliminate the illusory boundaries between yourself and others, this brings you joy and freedom.  It is not that you don’t encounter difficulties in life, but you learn to meet them calmly and openly and they become a natural part of your life.

If you are in a leading role, you should be humble, sincere, gentle and magnanimous, willing to seek harmony with others.  Once you have achieved success do not become too proud of it, remember the greatest gift we can give is our gratitude.

Quote: Freedom is not being for or against an ideal but creating your own existence from scratch.
