The essence of life is it is challenging. Sometimes sweet sometimes bitter. Sometimes you are tense, sometimes relaxed and open. To live life fully is to experience each moment as completely new and fresh, especially things you cannot control, rather than try to make them good or bad.
All our lives we seek union, we try to do well for our family and society. We try to touch the universal through art, music and spiritual practices. All our attempts are flawed; accord and harmony are transitory states. Their duration and quality come from our determination.
If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money or possessions, you will never be happy. Be content with what you have and rejoice in the way things are, then you will realize nothing is lacking.
We have in us a nature that is innately good, which guides us through life. By following this goodness, you attain an unsullied innocence that teaches you to do right with instinctive sureness and without expectation of reward or personal advantage.
Quote: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. Albert Einstein
