Keep your smile. It cuts through anything and puts your drama-filled mind at ease, which, contrary to popular opinion, is a problem creator, not a problem solver. Smiles are also contagious. Such a sweet, pure expression, recognizable by everyone, and always available on your face!

Give way to the mystery that is the foundation of your experience. Embrace love instead, and whatever unfolds, it will carry you through. Lighten the load of all that you feel you must shoulder, especially the burdens of heavy thoughts and resentments. The less you have to think about, the less you have to fear.
Ease, always, into life with your wits, kindness, and smile. Life will smile back.

What you believe is right inherently carries the seed of wrong, making any “right” equally wrong. “I am right, and you are wrong” is the way of the ego and the form of all judgment. What you believe is not what you know, and it is ever so little you or anyone can “know.” Let go of what you believe, but even more so, let go of your reasons for having them, as well. Besides, being wrong about everything makes for a quiet, blissful life that never needs an offensive or defensive position to distract you from joy, peace, and wonder. Life is total wonder, but not if you are “wondering” what to believe or not believe.

Love is not anything like the definition of the words you use to describe it, and therein lies its elusiveness and mystery. We look at things, trees, flowers, mountains, birds, etc., without ever seeing what they are without the label used to describe them. It is the same with love. To know love, you must separate what the word love represents and all the definitions you give to it from the “fact” of it. That is letting the overwhelming experience wash over you without your mind’s busyness analyzing what it is. Doing so leaves you breathless and at a total loss for meaning. And, it may happen in the blink of an eye and then be gone, but still, it never goes away.
Love is all you will ever be. You’ll know it when you can no longer speak it.

The rarest voice in all existence is the voice that will never condemn another. Don’t satisfy yourself with the nonsense that you have it figured out and have discerning eyes and ears that know goodness from badness. YOU create it all, including your mind, that seeks reasons to dislike and separate from YOUR creations. Love’s embrace has no division, no mind or thought. Be “rare” and speak no ill. What you speak divides “you,” and love cannot have you divided against yourself.

Resistance to that which you have judged unpleasant, untenable, unacceptable, un-beautiful, etc., and seeking only the opposites does little more than complicate your life and create unnecessary contraction from the only thing you can experience. That is, life itself in all its luster and nuance.
It’s not a question of knowing the good because you have experienced the bad. Turning away from any aspect of life makes you jaded, self-centered, and ever seeking that which isn’t and, consequently, that which cannot be. The good, as you define it, contains the seed of evil, just as evil includes the seed of good. Everything is bundled in reality, regardless of how you judge it. Life moves all by itself, as is; You, “as is,” can too. Just take your judgment and quest for preference out of it! Now, that’s how to live fully.

Honor your experience by accepting it as yours and without the desire to alter it in any way. Desire is the ire of reality.

Give yourself to each moment you find yourself in, especially those you typically react to because of anger, sadness, or offense. Be grateful for every exchange your human endeavor provides, and thank whomever you encounter for it. Every encounter is the light of your soul and the crack into which you glimpse eternity and something far more profound than emotional, human reactions.
Humans have so much, but dilly-dally in the small, benign, and extraneous, and create silly apparitions that follow them around the whole of their lives. Don’t let a single “thank you” be unsaid. It is the key to a panorama few will ever experience! Be one of them.

Look inward to that inner SELF that holds for steadiness, calm, and truth, not for a fictional, mind-made self that relieves you from you. You can live life or make one up, as most do. What YOU are doesn’t care one way or the other, but your mind does, even though it is your mind that makes up the stuff, designed to perfect its superficial creation, e.g., what you think you are.
In other words, your mind needs to get out of its own way, but that’s a tough one because it also thinks it is the knower of the way. So…, stop knowing and peer deeply into the silence that holds “what YOU are.” What you discover will surprise you, but I can’t tell you what it is because no mind, including mine, knows.

The greatest challenge to awareness, and thus, few ever experience it, is accepting people as they are. Not in the “empathetic” way most pay lip service to, e.g., “walk in another person’s shoes,” or “they’re just not at my level of spirituality,” etc., but in recognizing that the force of light shines in us all equally, all the time. When you are busy looking at differences, you will always miss the light, and that is a darkness of your own making. YOU are the “shine” in light; the energetic force that permeates all of existence. If you are on, everyone is on. Give everyone a break. That is a “break” from your shading.
