Each day reflect on the day ahead keeping a wide-open heart and mind. Before retiring reflect on what you have done. If you did something you aspired to do, even once, rejoice in that. If you went against your aspiration rejoice that you can see what you did.
Spirituality lies in the ordinary everyday things you do, the only way to describe it is by comparing it to ordinary things. If you regard spirituality as extraordinary, then it remains outside yourself -a myth, a fantasy, an unnameable quantity, but once you know it, it is part of your daily life.
Thinking and talking about a self-cultivation practice are not the same as practicing it. Whoever became a good athlete by talking about sports? Start by relaxing your mind and quieting your senses, this allows you to concentrate on your practice, no matter what it is.
After something is complete and before a new cycle gets started, there is a myriad of possibilities. There is an opportunity, when things are not yet formed, to influence what they are going to become through care and consideration, this provides real motivation for innovative opportunities.
Quote: When you cultivate a natural response to what life is bringing, you react less and observe more.
