You should never have expectations for others, just be kind to them. If people mess up, do anything you can to bring some happiness into their lives. Setting goals for others can be aggressive, really wanting a success story for ourselves, we are asking them to live up to our ideals.
Life acquires meaning when we face the conflicts between our desires and reality. Sometimes things we want just come to us without effort, but most of the time it takes effort to make things happen and achieve our goals, but this effort is what brings meaning to our life.
Life is a competition with everybody and everything. In competition, we want our opponents to be at their best. It’s not that you don’t want to compete, but you want to do it in the spirit of play. In this way you are like a child at play, in harmony with life.
If your mind is open and far reaching you can recognize the truth in all things. This way you can combat evil and promote the good, with the strength that this openness gives you. Using this kind of strength and clarity you can embrace myriad principles and response to myriad things.
Quote: One must not be trivial and irresponsible in heart but must strive to make deeds prove one’s words.
