The practices of loving kindness, compassion and equanimity offer no promise of a happy ending. These practices are not about avoiding uncertainty and fear but how we relate to discomfort. They teach us how to practice with everyday encounters, and with our emotions.
Every life has its own sacrifices and hardships. But no matter your path or vocation, give up worldly desires and live your life completely. Be the best you can at whatever you choose to do, you will only err when you try to be who you are not.
When we are all in harmony with the natural laws we flourish together and, being content with the way things are, brings us constant energy. View all things with compassion while practicing humility. This brings you wisdom and helps you find lasting peace.
It is an incentive for you when good starts to prevail to join the upward trend, but don’t be carried away by the current of the time. We must adhere to what is right and be aware that everything is transitory, because descent must follow every rise, this is a natural law.
Quote: Contentment cannot be held in the hand but lives perpetually in the heart.
