Entrenched in the tunnel vision of our personal concerns, what we ignore is our kinship with others. We need to understand that when we do harm to another, we do harm to ourselves. If we train in opening our hearts and minds, we will find that others are no different than ourselves.
Influencing others requires perception. We need to know when to act, when to be passive, when others are receptive to us, and when they will not listen. Possibly you need to change yourself. This takes experience of course, so just keep practicing or make a game for yourself out of it.
Realize and admit when you make a mistake, then set about correcting it. Consider a person who points out your faults as your most benevolent teacher. Think of your enemy as the shadow you cast. Do not meddle in the affairs of others and you will be a light to all.
If you adjust your activities in relation to nature and its cycles, nature will reward you. Look for the opportunities all situations bring you, both good and bad. Sometimes your greatest opportunities come from those situations that you are afraid of or find undesirable.
Quote: Never complain to someone who can’t help you with the problem.
