If the weather is uncertain 

                              - as Life usually is - 

                               better take an umbrella 

                               even if at present it isn't raining. 

Ancient wisdom suggests a sort of attitude 

that is often ignored in this speedy world: 

there are things that need to be dealt with at a slow pace. 

One of them is anger. 

Your spirit needs to experience all the feelings 

available to human nature. 

Therefore, beside the ‘serious’ ones, 

don't forget to add some humor. 

You may be the brave type who can easily face

 

any unexpected circumstance with courage. 

Where does such strength come from?

 

Who or what gave it to you?

The “universal connection” you hear about is certainly great, 

if it only worked on all levels! 

Working on knowing yourself better, though, can help.

                         You might discover that something 

                            that you considered impossible, 

               with enough focus may actually become reality.

Don't Pretend

 When something bad happens in your life, you may think that, after all, it was not a big deal. Maybe it wasn't, maybe it was. When you hold your emotions in check, you are only hurting yourself. You don't need to be always stoic, and display restraint at all times. Allowing your distress to manifest itself in whatever way is more comfortable for you can be the best and fastest way to overcome negative feelings. Don't pretend that everything is alright when it isn't. Showing your weakness is a sign of strength. It means that you are smart enough to detect when you can just acknowledge and move on, or when you need to stop, analyze, grieve, before releasing.

(from "Sorry, No Flowers. Seeds Only")

 Everyone creates their own life.

But not totally alone.

There is always at least one person who 'co-operated' with them.

It's essential to always consider the consequences that one's thoughts, words and actions entail. 

But...

Do we?

Do you?

You don't need to do anything special or highly skilled. 

If you are just the best you can be, you are already carrying out your required duty as a human being.

 And that is enough.

If you examine your thoughts, now, how would you define them? 

If you go deep into yourself, now, what do you actually feel? 

Is it important to ask yourself such questions?

                                             ‘Nothing is enough for the man 

                                     to whom enough is too little’.

                                     (Epicurus - circa 300 BC)

                                             Your fellow human beings 

                                     are who and what they are.

                                     Exactly like yourself.
