Others will show you where you are stuck, they say or do something and you automatically react in your familiar ways of shutting down or getting worked up.  Without others provoking you, you remain ignorant of your habitual responses and cannot transform yourself.

In times of adversity, vision and determination decide the outcome.  You can emerge from diversity stronger than before if your mind is focused to the utmost; you will triumph.  Thus the times of adversity can be crucial in the development of one’s inner personality.

If you have a benevolent heart, you will nourish your community without trying to.  Be simple and generous, do work you enjoy, don’t try to control, don’t compare, don’t compete, be content with just being who you are; this way everybody will respect you.

During the process of development, progress frequently comes to a standstill.  There might be an obstruction owing to one’s lack of experience or exterior circumstances.  In this situation store up your energy, preparing for your next move, but remain calm and truthful.

Quote: All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.
