“Trying to become like somebody else, or like your ideal, is one of the main causes of contradiction, confusion and conflict.
A mind that is confused, whatever it does, at any level, will remain confused; any action born of confusion leads to further confusion. I see this very clearly; I see it as clearly as I see an immediate physical danger. So what happens? I cease to act in terms of confusion any more.
Therefore inaction is complete action.”
-J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known.

A Beam of Divinity – Seneca
To see a man fearless in danger,
Untainted by lust,
Happy in adversity,
Composed in turmoil,
And laughing at all those things
which are coveted or feared by others -
All men must acknowledge,
that this can be nothing else but a beam of divinity
animating a human body.
“Kind words elicit trust. Kind thoughts create depth. Kind deeds bring love.”
Lao Tzu

The whole world is you. You are the world.
What would you like to see more of in the world? Love? Peace? Caring? Less selfishness?
Take steps to create more of it in your life. As you expand the qualities within yourself you are also expanding them in the world. See the possibilities.

What do you believe or know about yourself?
Is it consistent with your self-talk?
You can always know what your beliefs are by your actions.
Examine what you do.
That is who you are, on the inside.
That is what you believe.
Success is a habit. When sound habits are implemented that tie in with the goal, you are halfway to reaching your objective. Habits are those actions that we perform regularly. We have programmed the action into our spirit and we don’t even have to think about it anymore. It is something that we do!
If you are seeking success, develop success habits.
Sow a thought and you reap and action;
Sow an action and you reap a habit,
Sow a habit and you reap a character;
Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

“If there is no strength in body and mind, the Atman (the Self) cannot be realized. First you have to build the body by good nutritious food – then only will the mind be strong. The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words. “I am low, I am low” – repeating these ideas in the mind, man belittles and degrades himself” – Vivekananda

Meditation has been laid stress upon by all religions. The meditative state of mind is declared by the yogis to be the highest state in which the mind exists. When the mind is studying the external object, it gets identified with it, loses itself. To use the simile of the old Indian philosopher: the soul of man is like a piece of crystal, but it takes the color of whatever is near it. Whatever the soul touches…it has to take its color. That is the difficulty. That constitutes the bondage. The color is so strong, the crystal forgets itself and identifies itself with the color. Suppose a red flower is near the crystal: the crystal takes the color and forgets itself, thinks it is red. We have taken the color of the body and have forgotten what we are. All the difficulties that follow come from that one dead body. All our fears, all worries, anxieties, troubles, mistakes, weakness, evil, are from that one blunder-that we are bodies. This is the ordinary person. It is the person taking the color of the flower near to it. We are no more bodies than the crystal is the red flower. – Vivekananda
