Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will.
Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can. If you are studying, reflecting and trying, you are making progress whether you are aware of it or not. A traveler walking the road in the darkness of night is still going forward. Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud.
A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
How would you feel if you had no fear? Feel like that. How would you behave toward other people if you realized their powerlessness to hurt you? Behave like that. How would your react to so-called misfortune if you saw its inability to bother you? React like that. How would you think toward yourself if you knew you were really all right? Think like that.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
