How do you want to feel tomorrow, next week, next year? It is up to you how you use your life. It doesn’t mean you are the best at cheering up, or your habitual tendencies don’t get the better of you. Keep reminding yourself that it is your life to live, and every action you do has a result.
We never prepare for decline and often realize too late that we are in a period of decline, and so we are unprepared. Once we realize the moment things begin to decline, we must gauge how quicky or slowly events are moving, not being emotional about it. It simply happens and that is all.
Do not become obsessed with circumstances or forgo awareness of them. Avoid following impulses that destroy the wholeness of your mind. If you wish to gain recognition, develop your virtue and extend it to the world, practice unswerving kindness and unending patience.
In order to influence each other, both parties should be sincere and free from judgement. Your heart and mind should be as pure as the clear sky and as open as the vast ocean. Thus, acting in harmony and being open, you can accept all people without prejudice.
Quote: An act done to another is done to yourself.
