When you fear something, you become unnerved and usually do what it tells you to do. Listen to it, even respect it, even be convinced of it, but if you don’t do what it tells you to do, it has no power over you. In this way, you defeat what you are fearful of.

The mind is desperate to fix the river in place. Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the present moment. Dissolve your mind, let it be quiet and find peace and clarity in the present moment.
After finishing your own tasks use your strength in the service of others. Help where help is needed but weigh carefully how much you can help without doing harm. Only when this feeling exists can you give yourself unconditionally, without hesitation.
