the Last Fish Eaten, and

the Last Stream Poisoned,

Then they will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money

When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that
what I want also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here
for anyone who can grasp it...

We’ve all heard a version of this saying,
something to the effect of each cloud has a silver lining,
but when you hear from a renowned genius that each difficulty has an opportunity within it, you take notice.
Just because you’re facing a difficulty is no reason to give up or get down on yourself.
Find that opportunity that’s hidden within whatever difficulty you’re facing,
and see how you can make the most out of it.
What a difference that will make when instead of setting you back, difficulties only serve to move you forward...

Often we lose sight of how important today can be,
and if things have gotten tough for you it may be because you didn’t properly use your yesterdays, and now you’re dealing with the consequences.
So instead of ruing that you should have done more in the past,
use the opportunity you have today to make a better tomorrow.
It’s so hard to wrap your head around the idea that your future will be better because of what you’re doing right now, today,
and that you’re living the sum of all of your previous todays.
But once you do the sky’s the limit...

It’s easy to look at the abilities you lack and start to feel bad that you don’t know enough, or can’t do enough.
This alone can be the start of a bad day,
because once you start thinking like that it’s hard for anything else to go your way that day.
But once you shift the focus to your long list of abilities,
to all of the things you do know, and all of the things you can do, you start getting inspired rather than discouraged,
and more things start to go your way.
You’ll start playing to your strengths instead of wallowing in your weaknesses.

Most would consider Michael Jordan a giant success when it comes to the game of basketball,
but he was humble enough to realize that even more than is innate greatness it was the attempts and the many failures that led to that success.
He didn’t make 100% of his shots, but he wasn’t afraid to shoot the ball when the game was on the line,
or to take plenty of shots knowing that some would go in.
If failures have been piling up in your life just remember that it’s part of playing the game,
and at least you’re in the game taking shots...
