Acknowledge your thoughts, let them go. By coming back to the freshness of the present moment, you are sowing seeds of wakefulness in your unconscious. You’re conditioning yourself towards opening up and after a while, you become more wakeful and have more open thoughts.
It is up to us to sing as we feel moved by the overall song of life. Be like the birds, sing when the rains come and know what to do when winter comes. They sometimes harmonize with life or sing discordant tunes, but still sing with life.
Realize that all things change; then there is nothing you will try to hold on to. You cannot control the future; you might as well relax into it and accept it, no matter what it brings. There is an ancient tale that says whatever happens, you look at it without judgement and say, “some good some bad”.
If we can bring ourselves to set aside pride and follow the examples of good men, good fortune will result. If we associate with people sharing the same views and come together in full public knowledge, without selfish motives, then you are in harmony with the times.
