Watch The Functioning Of Your Own Mind

You Can Learn Not To Want What You Want, To Recognize Desires But Not Be Controlled By Them.

You Can't Make Radical Changes In The Pattern Of Your Life Until You See Yourself Exactly As You Are Now. As Soon As You Do That Changes Will Flow Naturally.

Watch The Functioning Of Your Own Mind In A Calm And Detached Manner So You Can Gain Insight Into Your Own Behavior.

Mindfulness Gives You Time. Time Gives You Choices. Choices, Skillfully Made, Lead To Freedom. You Don't Have To Be Swept Away By Your Feeling. You Can Respond With Wisdom And Kindness Rather Than Habit And Reactivity.

Buddhism Advises You Not To Implant Feelings That You Don’t Really Have Or Avoid Feelings That You Do Have. If You Are Miserable You Are Miserable; That Is The Reality, That Is What Is Happening, So Confront That. Look It Square In The Eye Without Flinching. When You Are Having A Bad Time, Examine That Experience, Observe It Mindfully, Study The Phenomenon And Learn Its Mechanics. The Way Out Of A Trap Is To Study The Trap Itself, Learn How It Is Built. You Do This By Taking The Thing Apart Piece By Piece. The Trap Can’t Trap You If It Has Been Taken To Pieces. The Result Is Freedom.
