- Change is always always happening - how many of us appreciate this truth
- Most often we become comfortable with our lives and fail to understand how change affects our lives - we should practice being aware of this perpetual change and determine whether we should actually be so comfortable
- We imagine change to be difficult - if we tried to change we would understand this to not be so difficult
- By considering both the benefits of changing as well as the consequences of not changing our efforts to change would be more significant
- People change when faced with crisis - we need to avoid waiting until we get a 'slap in the face' in case this point is too late
- We should remember to exercise our minds - as this is the most important tool for change we should give the mind as much attention as the body
- Ask the right questions - by asking the right questions we will actually receive answers we would like to know
- We have a habit of delaying happiness - we must ask ourselves why we do this and reflect on how we can live this happiness right here right now
- Psychology teaches us that the population is composed of 95% followers and 5% initiators - we should be aware of the change we make and understand that it carries forward and has a 'ripple effect' on others and more broadly, the world
- If we do not try to be happier, how will we ever know how happy we can be
Please be safe and serene over the holidays. Please convey my Love to all of your family. Please invite your friends to join us for our next semester.
In your service...
In your service...
(the quote i talked about in our discussion)
" Should you wish to end your suffering, begin by realizing that you spend most of your life dreaming of when you will be happy. How can you hear My voice when your thoughts are shouting about your next goal, you most recent defeat? " --- Nikhil Pradip Joshi
