Accept Yourself

As soon as you accept yourself as you are, you begin to transform.

Examine Your Mind

When negativity in your mind arises, instead of being afraid of it or pushing it away, you should examine it more closely. Meditation helps you understand the mind and put it in order.

The mind is very powerful. Therefore, it requires firm guidance. But be reasonable with yourself – and don’t ever think it’s too late.

Pilot Your Mind with Wisdom

Just as a powerful jet plane needs a good pilot, the pilot of your mind should be the wisdom that understands its nature.
