When you have thoughts and feelings of unworthiness use your intelligence, courage and humour to turn the tide. Ask yourself, “Do I want to strengthen what I am feeling right now”? Remind yourself that your fundamental nature is unconditionally open and free.
In communications, misunderstanding is a perennial problem, we each view things differently to some degree. Words themselves are imperfect, the symbol is not the same as the reality. We know there is no absolute truth in the world, only varying degrees of ambiguity.
Listen to people, respond to their needs only when asked, do not manipulate them, do not give advice. If you give advice, do you notice that most people don’t act on it and it probably frustrates you that they didn’t, even though you know what’s best for them?
When unfriendly forces are advancing, retreat is the right course of action. We are not running away, but are offering some resistance while planning for the time when the aggressive forces end. Anger and hate are not resistance, all resistance must be done in a thoughtful and considerate way.
Quote: Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; In the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. – Ovid
