Seeking security and perfection is like trying to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  There is no fresh air, no room for something to come and interrupt all that, and sooner or later you will have an experience you can’t control.  Life is challenging; sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. Try to experience each moment as new and fresh.

Teach others without reservation.  Teachings are only understood when we make them real in our own lives. You cannot learn by just listening, you must put the teachings into practice.  Do not hold on to internal power; use it prudently to teach and heal others.  The more you give, the more you gain in return; the more selfless you are, the more you benefit.

Embrace your time of solitude and realize you are one with the universe.  Nothing is absolute; therefore, you can’t rely on your mind. To arrive at unshakeable quiet, stop thinking, analyzing and making distinctions between things, simply see that you are at the center of the universe, and accept all things as being part of you.

Through daily self-renewal you can continue at the height of your power.  Such a person is in harmony with all things, therefore even great and difficult undertakings succeed.  When studying the past, do not confine yourself to the knowledge you learn, but use that knowledge to give actuality to the past.

Quote: More endorphins make you happy. In order to get more endorphins, work hard (at living) and you will be happy.
