Equanimity
 Is what it is all about. After learning to be honest with yourself. After learning to live in reality. After learning to live with honest values. Then its learning to live in equanimity. Why equanimity? Because it encapsulates the way forward. If we can learn to keep our balance no matter what. Then we can grow because we are able to observe ourselves and others and draw objective lessons from life. Only by learning equanimity can we truly grow.

Keep trying
 Every day. Keep trying to do your best and find the good in it. You do not have to win a gold medal. You do not have to be King Kong Just do your best in whatever comes your way In fact enjoy it. There is no future only what you have now this moment. The rest is all illusion. Only this moment now. And once you get this then life changes. Why? Because this moment now actually isn't so bad Get it?

Busy day
 Running all day long.Home at night wondering what its all about. Endless detail of life. Always having to do. Hoping things will change for the better. Is there any reason they should? Probably not. So decide today to be clearer about what you are doing. Decide to take actions to clear your life. Life can only get better when you are clearer..

Mmmmm - 39
 The principal foe of a secondary nature is what was once called phantasy; that is, the reappearance of thoughts and images due to recollection or memory.
Memory is an important power, but mind in itself is not memory
Mind is restless and wandering in its nature, and must be controlled.
Its wandering disposition is necessary or stagnation would result.
But it can be controlled and fixed upon an object or idea.
Now as we are constantly looking at and hearing of new things, the natural restlessness of the mind becomes prominent when we set about pinning it down.
Then memory of many objects, things, subjects, duties, persons, circumstances, and affairs brings up before it the various pictures and thoughts belonging to them.
After these the mind at once tries to go, and we find ourselves wandering from the point.
It must hence follow that the storing of a multiplicity of useless and surely-recurring thoughts is an obstacle to the acquirement of truth.
And this obstacle is the very one peculiar to our present style of life.

Nothing special today
 Or so it often seems.And then something comes along and it's special.Something took you out of your routine.Something lifted you up or plunged you down.Suddenly it's special propelling you into pain or pleasure.Strong feelings.
A feeling of being more alive for better or worse.
Nothing prepares us for this.
It just arrives.
Imagine that the next time this happens you did not go so high or fall so far.Probably a better option given that fifty percent or so of our special experiences are going to be painful.Learning to be the observer of yourself protects from too savage an experience.It does mean learning to control your mind though.So that you can become that observer of what happens to you.Start learning more about why you feel as you do.Why you react as you do.How you can become that observer of yourself..

Will it make me happy?
 A modern woman's comment about having a child. Once upon a time it was how can I make my child happy? How can I do the best for my child? No longer, the child must provide amusement and proof of fertility. Procreation and child raising are becoming status symbols Toys even No wonder we have the problems we do. Think young woman Children allow all of us to learn and grow. Are your consumer toys really so important? What do you think you are here for?
Is it really only to indulge yourself?

Lower and lower
 Violence in so many things We do not even notice anymore.. Or maybe more accurately we ignore Push to the back of our consciousness Try to avoid. Go a step further. Decide not to look at things offering violence. Change your viewing. Change your choices. Choose light and love. Color. Softness over hard. Life over dull violence. Be active in promoting consciousness of what we are doing. Dulling and destroying beauty. Make your contribution every day by what you choose. Let others know what you are doing. Let all of us vote with our choices.

Blind experience
 Too often we are impressed by physical appearance.
Too often by trivia.
Want to experience differently?
Arrange to go for a blind walk with a friend guiding you.
Do things without being able to see for a new way of experiencing..
Amazing how fast we now observe three things
One how great it is to be able to see
Two how quickly we pay attention to our other senses and appreciate their importance.. Three how helpful our friends can be. Oh and the physical appearance just does not matter. Its powerful.

Time out
 To notice what makes you run.What does?Why are you here?What for?Do you have a reason or are you just bumbling along?Don't know why or what for?Well if you do not know then how can anyone else?Some things are for us alone to decide.Your call.Why are you here?Take time out to understand some things about yourself.If you do not then you can be sure nature will by bringing you to a stop in your life.This will take the form of an illness or something else that prevents you ignoring yourself.Running all the time to avoid yourself..Don't believe us then look around you.No one gets through life without this challenge.No one. So be smart and think about why you are here.Are you doing what you came into this life to do?

Success
 Success is often an illusion.Why?Because in our world it is usually something man says or judges.Something often at the expense of something else.Something perceived as important at the time.
Unfortunately man is only able to see part of every story.
So let go of what others say. Act morally and behave with ethical consideration.Do in life what is truly important to you.What resonates with you.
It is only at the end of our days that we can see whether it was success or not.
