All of us are like eagles who have forgotten we know how to fly and are trapped in our nest of old food, excrement and stale air. We need to let go of everything and step to the edge of our nest and soar. You cannot soar and carry all the baggage with you.
There is no reason to think meditation is something out of the ordinary. Don’t meditate because it is in your schedule or that it is the philosophy you practice. Meditation is the purest, most natural expression we can have. Meditate because it is natural.
Life is a competition with everybody and everything. In competition, we want our opponents to be at their best. It’s not that you don’t want to compete, but you want to do it in the spirit of play. In this way you are like a child at play, in harmony with life.
When a change happens, look for the lessons it can teach you rather than reacting in your old habitual ways. Learn from others’ reactions to a change and take time to pause and observe to see if this is the way you should respond. Everything that happens to you is useful to you in some way.
