Life keeps coming, just like waves on the ocean they just keep coming. Some knock you down, but just keep getting back up and keep walking. After awhile you notice the waves appear to be getting smaller. The key is to keep getting back up, if you lie there you will drown.

If you blame someone else for your failures, there is no end to the blaming. The wise see failure as an opportunity and accept all responsibility for their failures. Fulfill your own obligations, correct all your mistakes, do what you need to do without demanding from others.
Energy that is renewing itself must be allowed to reinforce itself by rest. The return of health after illness, the return of understanding after estrangement, both must be treated tenderly and with care at the beginning so that the return may lead to flowering.
Quote: See not the one who makes you angry, but the place in yourself where this anger arises.
