Fully acknowledge your sadness and the sadness of life, but do not be consumed by it. Remember your true nature, of balance and completeness, joining vision with practicality. This quality of being continuously awake will help you remember who you really are.
We may feel we are more fortunate than others, but don’t we have the same layers of misfortune, confusion, and selfishness to dissolve? The light of our soul is bright, but dense clouds of ignorance may obscure it. What are you doing to make your life brighter?
If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money or possessions, you will never be happy. Be content with what you have and rejoice in the way things are, then you will realize nothing is lacking.
Living a life of sincerity and integrity is not any guarantee against bad luck or ugly surprises. But life has learned that these traits will improve the odds of success, that working with a natural merit and practicing a natural good can be two of the best rules one can live by.
Quote: Every day in every way I am getting better and better.
