If we approach life as an experiment, then we are willing to try things this way and that way; either way we have nothing to lose. The trick is not to get caught up in hope and fear. Remember if it is time for something to flourish it will, if not it won’t, just keep experimenting.
You cultivate skills as you go through life, maybe in your work, in the arts, or in competition. Self-cultivation and learning for any reason is not merely for the acquisition and practice of skills, it is a path to your innermost being and understanding of self.
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 and do not meddle in the affairs of others, and you will be a light to all.
If you find yourself confronted by insurmountable limitations, know where to stop. If you understand this and do not go beyond the limits set, you will accumulate an energy that enables you, when the time comes, to act with great force.
Quote: You have within you more love than you could ever understand. Rumi
