Feelings

 Feelings are irrational. They are like two-year-olds. Are the feelings even yours in the first place? You walk by a street and 100 feelings will pop in your head, how many of them are yours? How many of them actually serve any purpose? Feelings come and go. Do not have a clean bowel movement someday and see how all your feelings change. Watch your feelings from one hand distance and pick them as you please and not let them pick you.

Do not take any decision when you are very happy/excited or are very sad/angry. As high emotions cloud our judgment. A happy person will be more open than he should be, and a sad person would be more closed up than he should be.

You can do all you possibly can and yet things will not turn around the way they should. This is because of two reasons: either you are limited or other people involved.

If you have done all you could possibly do, and still things don’t turn out the way they do, it is not your fault.

Everyone dies. All material reality is impermanent. Be open to change and get out of your comfort zone. Make bolder decisions, make better decisions

While making any decision keep ‘the why’ clear, so when the hard situations storm your mind, you can stay anchored.

Find your highest possible truth and make your decisions in line with them

Do not do to others what you do not want to be done upon yourself. An eye for an eye and soon the whole world will be blind. See God in all. Act through the God within you.

Trust the universe, God or consciousness, they only mean good for you.

There’s no shame in asking for help, ask people for better advice.

The impermanent has no reality; reality lies in the eternal
