Be kind to all qualities of your being: the painful parts, the tough parts, all of you. When we feel bad in some way about ourselves, loving kindness towards ourselves is the way to treat this feeling. This then becomes the basis for extending the same unconditional kindness towards others.
Don’t be so anxious as to try to come up with an immediate answer to daily problems. There may be many answers to each problem that comes your way throughout the day, with none of them entirely correct, but just asking the question is already enough.
Your mind is like the sky, if its cloudy you will not see it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. All our miseries and conflicts are created by the activity of the mind. Keep your mind still, look inside and see the truth that is always available, always responsive.
Any development to be successful must proceed gradually and be allowed to take its course, being hasty would not be wise. Penetrating gentleness is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm, along with perseverance, prevents slow progress from dwindling into nothing.
