The more we get to know our judgementalness, pettiness and arrogance we realize they are not sins, but workable habits of the mind. The more we get to know them, the more they lose their power, and we come to trust our basic simple nature free of struggle between good and bad.
When disaster strikes, we can do nothing other than accept it. It may alter the course of our actions and thinking. However, we must keep to our deeper convictions and remember our goals and not get caught up in the chaos. Whether we remain the ash or become the Phoenix is up to us.
If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money or possessions, you will never be happy. Be content with what you have and rejoice in the way things are, then you will realize nothing is lacking.
To bring about abundance, a union of clarity of mind and energetic movement is needed. In periods of abundance, we become used to an easy situation, that is the time for caution and careful planning in preparation for the decline that must follow.
Quote: It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. Rumi
