I was sent this quote today by a friend; I’ve heard it before, but it is so true it bears reading again and again:
In the end, just three things matter:
How well we have lived
How well we have loved
How well we have learned to let go.
Jack Kornfield
Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it?
I do not believe it can be done.
The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it, you will ruin it.
If you try to hold it, you will lose it.
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind;
Sometimes breathing is hard, and sometimes it comes easily;
Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness;
Sometimes one is up and sometimes down.
Therefore the sage avoids extremes,
excesses, and complacency.
~ Chapter 29

It carries over no balance, it allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of [read more]

‘Ten Commandments’

Someone sent me these ‘ten commandments’ — very inspiring. See which ones move you — my favourite is No 4, it makes me laugh, it’s so true!
1. Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout.
2. Why is a car’s windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.
3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
4. All things in life are temporary. If it’s going well, enjoy it, that won’t last long. If [read more]
