June 2010 Newsletter

Hello Everyone;

How is life treating you, as one of my teachers said to a student one day. The student began to respond with all the normal stuff going on in his life. Then the teacher said to him how are you treating life? What a profound statement if you think about it. We tend to blame everything outside of us as the reason we feel a certain way. It is us that cause ourselves to feel how we feel. The responsibility on how we feel is always on us and not some outside circumstance. Everyone has a life situation. But ultimately how you respond or react to it will determine how you feel. Own your own feelings. Turn mountains into molehills. Being a human being is not easy for we are confronted time and again with all kinds of challenges. But becoming aware of what is really going on when we feel out of sorts can help put things into respective. “ Be the awaken one “ ` Buddha

Thought for the Day; “To know that one does not know is the highest wisdom. Not to know that one does not know is a disease. When one recognizes this as a disease, one can be free from disease.” ~ Lao-Tzu
“The difficulty of being of being spiritual is not because you are not moral enough, or you are not spiritual enough, but because you are captive to your emotions.” ~ Hua Ching Ni

Lite Thought;
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
Does killing time damage eternity?
How come wrong numbers are never busy.
