To relate to all others compassionately is a challenge, it means not shutting down on that person, but first not shutting down on ourselves.  It means allowing ourselves to feel what we feel and not pushing it away, it means accepting every aspect of ourselves.

The world, it seems, never tires of conflict.  Remember the innocence of life, do not question your destiny, do not engage in alchemy to extend your lifespan or change your lot.  Learn to honor the innocence of one another and move as closely as is possible to a simple existence.

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.

An enthusiastic delightful mood is helpful to your success but gives warning against self-satisfaction.  It is easy to indulge in one’s own pleasure and forget the delight of others.  The key is humility and sincerity; these two qualities bring harmony, the true meaning of delight.

Quote: By trying to reach the future as quickly as possible, we’re essentially saying that we don’t want to be where we are now — or to do what we’re doing now.
