When you start to get angry, just pause, instead of acting in your usual habitual response, but at the same time be honest with yourself to how you are feeling; you’re not suppressing anything. Suppression is not about being patient, being patient is having a gentle honest relationship with yourself.
Learning is a passion shared by many of us, we are fascinated by the accomplishments of humanity. Yet the workings of humanity cannot compare with the works of nature in its unfathomable accomplishments. Think about what you do. How much of it can compare with the perfection of nature?
Attaching yourself to gross energies such as liking this, hating that, rejecting experiences habitually, indulging in another, will lead you to a heavy detached life. Love all things, work daily on your habitual tendencies, and live in the world without attachments, let go.
If you want to change, it is necessary that first the self be understood. If you do not understand this, you cannot be sincere. With understanding and sincerity your thoughts will be truthful and you will be able to change the self. Then you will have a path of creativity and development.
Quote: It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about? – Henry David Thoreau
