As we train in opening our hearts, discovering the soft spot, we feel more joy, the joy that comes from the appreciation of our basic goodness. We do this by being present, training in mindfulness and unconditional friendliness, having patience and letting the process evolve naturally.
We are not a single character throughout our lives, we change and grow; like a flower our identities unfold and bloom. Like a flower, when we open up our beauty is revealed in our center and like a flower, our special qualities come from our inner source.
Realize and admit when you make a mistake, then set about correcting it. Consider a person who points out your faults as your most benevolent teacher. Think of your enemy as the shadow you cast. Do not meddle in the affairs of others, and you will be a light to all.
When you run into an obstruction and don’t know what to do, the best thing to do is to keep still, but this does not mean giving up. You are only yielding to a situation and waiting for a more auspicious time to react. An obstruction that only lasts for a time is useful for self development.
