Today’s Meditation
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not;unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
–Calvin Coolidge(30th president of the United States)
Happy New Year!
The Buddha said that ” on life’s journey some people gather wisdom, some gather stones, and some gather nothing.To gather wisdom you must follow your own path. If you rely soley on wise teachers, their wisdom may weight you down, like stones in your pockets, and impede your way.”
Here and Now
Everything you will ever need can be found here and now of the perpetual present.
Time
Every second of time is the narrow gate through which enlightenment might enter.
