Set 2

The quality of your experience is a mental choice. Heaven or Hell, I don't think there is much in between.

If you go forward, everything else will find you. The only way to fail is inaction.

Wu-Wei is not inaction, but effortless action, non-forcing.

Acknowledge your emotions, but do not let them dictate your actions. Watch them enter your mind, see them, look at them; and then choose what to do.

Being sincere and authentic is Good. For yourself, and others, and the world. And the mind. Better to be hated for your true self, than loved for a false one.

If someone steals your shirt, give them your jacket.

Fight fire with water. If someone is harsh, be kind. Recognize the source of their actions, they are probably hurting.

If you have, then give. What else is the point of having? To hoard and die? That's a waste, you can't take it with you. Share your excess with others.

Going to bed early, and getting up early, is nice. Starting the day with some discipline is also nice.

Don’t sit too much in the past or the future. Get back to the present. Don’t get too ahead of yourself.

Be expectationless. This does not mean to expect nothing, but to not expect anything.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Appreciate what sets you apart, instead of criticizing it. Others will follow.
