Stop struggling, it’s not about winning or losing, but about ceasing to struggle with life and relax as it is.  That is what we are doing in our self-cultivation practice, it’s about relaxing without struggling, just be, let this attitude spread to the rest of your life.

We speak of opposites as antagonistic elements, but opposites are part of the same entity.  They define one another as black defines white.  They alternate with one another as war alternates with peace.  Whenever something reaches its extreme, it changes towards its opposite.

We live a bewildered life; we struggle to know things and whether there is a purpose to this existence.  Just look behind all this and see the joy and simplicity in all things.  Remain centered and act from your heart, then all things will be in harmony and you will be at peace.

When change and improvements are called for, steps must be taken with a firm correct attitude, then they succeed.  Such changes must be given careful consideration, but not for too long.  After the change is made, note for some time how the improvements bear the test of actuality.

Quote: We are told not to cross the bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by those who crossed bridges in their imaginations far ahead of the crowd.
