“I should be better. I should be something different. I should have more.”

All of this is conception; it’s all mental fabrication.

It’s just the mind churning up “shoulds,” “ought tos,” and “supposed tos.”

All this is conceptual rubbish, and yet we believe it.

Part of the solution is to recognize that these thoughts are conceptual rubbish and not reality; this gives us the mental space not to believe them.

When we stop believing them, it becomes much easier to accept what we are at any given moment, knowing we will change in the next moment.

We’ll be able to accept what others are in one moment, knowing that they will be different in the next moment.

This is good stuff for everyday practice; it’s very practical.

can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you.

In fact, others seem to be bothering you,

but it is not others, it is your own mind.

I’ve spent so much time in my head

and in my heart

that I forgot to live in my body.

The truth is,

everything will be okay

as soon as you are okay with everything.

And that’s the only time

everything will be okay.

raise your sights and see possibilities,

always see them for they are always there.

Don’t plant your bad days.

They grow into weeks.

The weeks grow into months.

Before you know it,

you got yourself a bad year.

Take it from me - choke those little bad days.

Choke ‘em down to nothing.

Accept

- then act.

Whatever the present moment contains,

accept it as if you had chosen it.

Always work with it,

not against it.

Make it your friend and ally,

not your enemy.

This will miraculously

transform your whole life.

“It has taken awhile, but I certainly do know it now

– the most wonderful gift I had,

the gift I finally learned to cherish above all else,

was the gift of all those perfectly ordinary days.”

I was born very far

from where I’m supposed to be

so I’m on my way home.

- Bob Dylan -

How far you go in life
depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving,
and tolerant of the weak and the strong,
because someday in your life,
you will have been all of these.

As I’m sure you guys know by now,

it is extremely difficult to stay alert and attentive

instead of getting hypnotized

by the constant monologue inside your head.

"When you come out of the storm,

you won’t be the same person who walked in.

That’s what this storm’s all about."

Goed is klaar.

Je kunt beter op tijd stoppen,
dan een vat vullen tot aan de rand.

Blijf je zwaard smeden en scherpen,
de scherpte gaat verloren.

Stouw je huis vol met goud en jade,
het wordt steeds moeilijker te bewaken.

Hecht veel waarde aan rijkdom en status
en je roept rampen over jezelf af.

Je terugtrekken als het werk gedaan is.
Dit is de weg van de hemel.
