There is not a shortage of people in need of help. It can be a close friend or someone you have never met. Who can you serve today?
Go forward and do the work. Breathe. Continue to apply yourself and listen calmly to have proper judgment and rescue yourself back to serenity.
It is impossible to define yourself by your past. All you have available is in the present. When you are present, you know what you should do.
Protecting yourself from your mind and ego is a daily endeavor. When you are not present, the voice of your thoughts comes in and dominates you.
The holiday season is one of my favorites as it brings everything out. A time to reflect upon your year, do deep work, catch up on sleep, exercise more, etc.
If things are difficult, do not give up. Persevere. Continue to pursue the path of love and execution of work. You are closer than you think.
Not partaking in excess is essential. I have started to drink less, eat less, have fewer meetings, and attend fewer events.
Returning to serenity requires minimalist action. Take the very next step. Break it down into something so small that you look silly by not doing it.
