Wisdom
1. Live every act fully as if it were your last moment.2. Most of the sorrows of earth humans cause for themselves.3. Words have the power to destroy or heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.4. Our own worst enemy cannot harm us as much as our unwise thoughts. No one can help us as much as our own compassionate thoughts.5. The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seed will you plant?6. Wherever you live is your temple if you treat it like one.7. Though we often live unconsciously, "on automatic pilot," everyone of us can learn to be awake. It just takes practice.8. The mind contains all possibilities.9. If you can't find happiness right where you are, where else do you think you will find it?10. If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.11. Life is so hard, how can we be anything but kind.12. It is not our preferences that cause problems but our attachment to them.13. Blessings come from care, trouble from carelessness.14. No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.15. Not getting what you desire and getting what you desire can both be disappointing.16. As you travel through life, offer good wishes to each being you meet.17. Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our pasts over and over again.18. In life we cannot avoid change, we cannot avoid loss. Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.19. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.20. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.
