Thoughts of Thursday

The average man examines the past. But its his personal past he examines, for personal reasons. He measures himself against the past, weather his personal past or the past knowledge of his time, in order to find justifications for his present or future behaviour, or to establish a model for himself

Personal power is a feeling. Something like being lucky. Or 1 may call it mood. Personal power is something that acquires by means of a lifetime of struggle

One of the greatest forces in the lives of warriors is fear, because it spurs them to learn.

A warrior does not need personal history. One day he no longer finds it necessary for him & he drops it.

For a seer, the truth is that all living beings are struggling to die. What stops death is awareness.

Shame i stare all the time..
Glasses are good, when you live in my hood.

Go placidly amid the noise & haste, and remember what peace there maybe in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; & listen to other for they to have a story.

Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for there are always greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements aswell as your plans.

Keep interested in your own careeer, however humble; its a real possessions in the changing fortune of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many people strive for high ideals; & everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nuture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But dont distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gently with yourself.

You are the child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have the right to be here. And weather it is clear to you or not the universe is unfolding as it should

Therefore be at peace with GIFT, and whatever your labour and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul

With all this sham , drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Deep down. Be careful, be happy¢¾
