How do you want to feel tomorrow, next week, next year?  It is up to you how you use your life.  It doesn’t mean you are the best at cheering up or your habitual tendencies don’t get the better of you.  Keep reminding yourself that it is your life to live and every action you do has a result.

Determine a pattern for your life, this pattern should be simple and consistent.  Accept what comes to you, and that which does not come to you should be of no concern of yours.  Do not do things that are not natural to do, simply be content with who you are.

We make a clay pot, but it is the inner empty space we use.  We build a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.  Do we create what is, to use what is not?  We work with being, but non-being is what we use.  Non-being and being create each other.

A sudden shock ushers in rejuvenating potential.  Something which has become stagnant can be re-energized or something which was stuck can be unstuck.  This offers an opportunity to access and transform the newly released energy into a new direction.

Quote: Dwelling on trivial things is how one finds calamities.
