When we train, even though we have noble intentions, we are not given any promises that all will be okay. Instead, simply look deeply at joy and sorrow, hoping and fearing, laughter and crying, at all that lives and dies. We learn that which truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.
Both imagination and dreams are similar activities. In dreams there is a total suspension of rationality and consciousness, so there is little or no direction possible. Imagination is a tool we can use to make our lives better, different and creative. By cooperating with it, we can achieve things “we never dreamed possible”.
Living life is easy if you don’t cling to good and bad. Let go of preferences and everything will become clear. We cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of the world; we all need to increase our service along with our understanding using our two natural attributes, awareness and action.
Wait for the proper time to begin things you have planned. Waiting calls for patience, it does not mean giving up. During the period of waiting cultivate self-confidence, steadfastness and uprightness, be cautious; then the outcome will bring success.
Quote: Rebellion is as much of a cage as obedience is. They both mean living in reaction to someone else’s way instead of forging your own.
