We Become In Part What Our Senses

An Unhurried Mind Brings The Capacity To Make Wise Choices Every Day - Choices Of How We Use Our Time, Of Where We Place Our Resources And Our Love. I Am Not Just Talking About Avoiding The Rat Race, But About A Life Full Of An Artistic Beauty - A Life That Has Almost Vanished From Modern Civilization, But Is Quite Within The Reach Of Everyone.

In The Confucian Tradition Is A Simple Formula That Appeals To Me Deeply: 'if There Is Righteousness In The Heart, There Will Be Beauty In The Character. If There Is Beauty In The Character, There Will Be Harmony In The Home. If There Is Harmony In The Home, There Will Be Order In The Nation. If There Is Order In The Nation, There Will Be Peace In The World.' I Urge Everyone To Reflect Deeply On These Words, As Simple As They Are Profound.

I Have Never Been Able To Understand The Compelling Phrase, 'keeping Up With The Joneses.' It Does Not Matter Very Much Whether I Keep Up With Tom Jones Or Anybody Else; What Is Important Is To Keep Up With Myself By Making My Today A Little Better Than My Yesterday.

Eventually, Meditation Will Make Our Mind Calm, Clear, And As Concentrated As A Laser Which We Can Focus At Will. This Capacity Of One-pointed Attention Is The Essence Of Genius. When We Have This Mastery Over Attention In Everything We Do, We Have A Genius For Life.

By Removing That Which Is Petty And Self-seeking, We Bring Forth All That Is Glorious And Mindful Of The Whole.
