Often, we look for some other person or entity to blame for our difficulties.  While finding a scapegoat may create a temporary sense of satisfaction, this does not actually resolve our problems, nor does it help us identify the real source of peace and well-being. (Lama Chodak Gyatso Nubpa.  Tools for Peace Personal Mandala Workbook.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you discover the peace that already lies within you and others.

When we shift the focus from ourselves, we are naturally able to maintain a broader view.  A broader view helps us loosen our grasping, conceptual mind.  When our grasping is loosened, we are better able to access our open, peaceful mind. Which path we choose is entirely up to us. (Lama Chodak Gyatso Nubpa.  Tools for Peace Personal Mandala Workbook.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you choose to plan positive seeds.

Watch your thoughts; they lead to attitudes.

Watch your attitudes; they lead to words.

Watch your words; they lead to actions.

Watch your actions; they lead to habits.

Watch your habits; they form your character.

Watch your character; it determines your destiny. (original author unknown)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you make conscious choices about your thoughts, attitudes, words, actions, and habits.

Although emotions are difficult to work with, and our habits of thinking deeply embedded, we are the directors of our thoughts, not just the actors playing out the parts.  If we intend to have positive, peaceful lives, then we need to direct our thoughts so they are positive and peaceful.  (Lama Chodak Gyatso Nubpo.  Tools for Peace Personal Mandala Workbook.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you contemplate your thoughts and actions.
