To be fearless is not really to overcome fear, its to come to know its nature.  To do this, develop compassion for yourself and others and not always wanting things to work out on your own terms, just be curious.  Relax, befriend your feelings, then you begin to understand.

We have three sheaths: the outer physical body that incorporates primitive drives and instinct, the inner one is the mind that includes reasoning and sense of individuality.  At our core is the soul, it is absolute, it is beyond senses, thoughts and all relativity.

When things arise, let them come; when things depart, let them go.  Don’t possess, don’t expect.  Practice undiscriminating virtue, take care of those who are deserving also, equally take care of those who are not.  These practices calm the mind and bring one into harmony with all things.

If you have opposition, do not proceed to brusquely, limit yourself to producing gradual effects in small matters.  This will help you achieve success because opposition does not preclude all agreement.  Opposition can represent a polarity, that can be very useful.

Quote: Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.
