Daily Life

Curios, Reflect, Enjoy e.g.,

  • Suffering:

    • What were the causes for suffering to arise?

  • Rejection

    • 'What is the benefit in this?'

Consider

    • Strengthening or weakening a habit

    • Understanding the causes that lead to a Mistake or Success

  • Potential > Instant

    • Present & Future Reality is caused by the habit energy cultivated

    • Favor cultivating beneficial habit energy for long-term benefit, rather than for short-term benefit

      • e.g., Enchanting with letting go rather than giving into addictions

Progress
