Being satisfied with what we already have is the key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspiring way. Wake up, become more alert and curious about yourself. Being who we are rather than trying to change and improve ourselves is all right, just be. Any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have.
We will put in the extra effort, and even go through hardship, if we know that we will gain something better for it. Self-discipline, if practiced with understanding and clear goals, will lead to a greater result. If you put in extra effort in this way, you gain a better life.
All things are brought forth from the subtle realm into the manifest world by the mystical intercourse of yin and yang. The source of the universe is ultimately unknowable, a great invisible river flowing forever through a vast and fertile valley. Silent and uncreated, it creates all things.
An exhausting situation can be caused by not having enough or being overwhelmed by having too much. If you are stuck in an exhausting situation, discover the cause and seek a solution. Merely complaining and being resentful will only make the situation worse.
Quote: Do not wait for change before you do something, do it now.
