Time is the most precious commodity we have, therefore, with all your heart try not to waste it instead nourishing your aspirations will lead you to an awakening. Try not to disappoint those you are grateful to, if you do go off track, find a way to say sorry, acknowledging we are all human and doing our best with what we have.
It is very easy in this current climate to get lost in the material world, believing we have to acquire many things, or our ego stating our job is far more important than others. All of these things make you become stagnant, try not to allow riches to obstruct your mind. Do not underestimate yourself and give up instead nourish your aspirations with true love and mindfulness. We are all ‘Heros’ so do not underestimate yourself and give up instead live your life everyday as if it’s the first day you stepped on the planet, creating meaningful relationships and friends including strangers that stop and say hello.
My wish is I help you give rise to the ‘Bodhicitta’ with strength and courage embracing your highest aspirations. The ‘Bodhicitta’ is the heart and mind of awakening love, the basic source of energy for a monastic. Model your behaviour on that of a great human being, do not follow the bad habit of base people, and dive right into your aspirations, you can create the life you want when you take the higher road. Take your destiny into your own hands, and don’t entrust it to anybody else, you can train yourself to put an end to non-thinking, and nourish your aspiration with love.
A lotus love & blessing
