You want things to go your way, 

to see others behave according

 

to your own expectations. 

How often does this happen?

 

                         For you, does success mainly mean

                                     'getting', 'achieving'?

 

                                        Think carefully,

                               and be sincere with yourself. 

When you are forcefully involved

in an unpleasant situation,

it’s possible that your role is only

 

to be the ‘impartial onlooker’.

                          Evolution (progress) in every field,

                                is a never-ending journey. 

                            It apparently had a beginning,

 

                                 but no ending is in sight.

Ask yourself: 

‘To what extent can I trust 

my senses in my everyday experience?’ 

                When you are forced to face an unpleasant

 

                    situation, and deny it or try to find 

                         excuses to get away from it, 

               you are desperately avoiding the evidence.

                    There are “good” people who, nevertheless, 

                        are annoying. They mean no harm, 

                     they are just unaware of their behavior.

Tough Choice?

You planned your day, and are now looking forward to what is coming. Then, something happens. Nothing serious, just a little mishap: the friend who was supposed to call, doesn't call, a meeting you really wanted to have gets canceled, your hair doesn't look as good as usual… Just nuisances that, nevertheless, can ruin your day. It's so common, so human, so ‘normal’! Observe now your reaction: you are upset, you grumble, you feel disturbed. At this point, after having grumbled, felt upset and disturbed for a few minutes, you have a choice. Either you maintain this attitude and feel miserable, or you snap out of it and move on, regaining your usual cheerfulness. Is it too difficult to decide?

You may not be aware of the 

     many gifts you have been given; 

         you may take everything for granted,

             so you don’t realize how important

                                   everything is.
