The past is a good place to visit from time to time, but never a place to stay in.
If you’re always happy and complete, then you definitely have a miserable life.
Because of you, you are you today.
Be happy with what you have. Lots of people have worse life than you.
If there are no bad things in the world, then there are no good things either. Bad things are a cycle of life.
Don’t give in to life’s little insults.
Be yourself. Don’t let the world judge you.
Don’t compare people. It simply doesn’t work. No one is better than anyone else.
Savor little moments. Try to remember them. But don’t try to make them happen again. Surprises are not fun when you know what’s going to happen.
Current mood: stressed
My eye recently landed on the fluid nature of water. It is something that outflows all over the world and the remarkable thing is that it does not accept resistance. If the water in a given stream flows beautifully for many years and is then obstructed by fallen trees or rocks, it finds its way to weave and flow around the resistance.
My mind turns to what I would do with gasoline today. At the moment of this writing a gallon of oil is worth $119. It wouldn’t do me a bit of good to remember when, as a teenager, I could buy gasoline for 95¢ a gallon.
I hope I would react to the current price of gasoline. Next Saturday or Sunday I would drive my car 10 miles to the west, then 10 miles to the east, then north and then south. With that coverage of my part of the particular universe, I would try to uncover as many new discoveries as I could.
One of the key thoughts that I hope we can all count on is to recognize that there are many “diamonds” in our own backyard. Let’s be like water and overcome obstacles that we might face, and try to flow around them.
I am sending positive vibes to all my loved ones.
May the world bless us more and more each day.

“In the jungle, the mighty jungle
the lion sleeps tonight…
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
the lion sleeps tonight…
weemoway weemoway
weemoway weemoway…”
