Acknowledge your thoughts, let them go and come back to the freshness of the present moment, doing this you are sowing seeds of wakefulness in your unconscious. This will help you let go of your habitual ways of doing things, then you can proceed and do something fresh.

Nearly all of us have fears, frustrations and inhibitions.  To overcome them takes courage and initiative.  If our problem is fear and timidity, we need a friend to encourage us, give us guidance and support, but they cannot solve our problems for us.  They can encourage us to persevere.

Embrace all things, accept everything, extend your goodwill in every direction or you can deny everything, recognizing that everything you see is an illusion.  Both paths lead to the spontaneous awareness of the harmonious oneness, then all you must do is participate in it.

If a species in nature dominates others, the resulting imbalance destroys habitats for all.  The same situation occurs when one person or group tries to use power over others.  Learning to live a balanced life, while taking others into consideration, means walking a path of modesty and integrity.

Quote: Stillness is the substance of joyfulness; joyfulness is the function of stillness.
