Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

Why We Overplan

‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. There is something about my mind, and many people’s minds, that is overly optimistic.

Bipolar Disorder

Here is your Friday STORY on: HAPPINESS: If you are not happy all of the time, then at least be assured that this is how most people exist. It is how most of us seem to perceive our humdrum existence. Yet however, we can improve this ratio of understanding with practice. With a steady progress we can also become skilful at being happy for longer and more often. Let me explain with a story how easy it is to approach life in the wrong manner. If you can raise a smile at this story, you'll be aware that this type of anger exists within your own soul. REVENGE ...Once upon a time, there was a wise man who insisted that to live well, one had to be positive and thankful for all of life. One day, a traveller came to him and said, 'How can I be positive? Nothing goes right in life! I've been badly hurt by people I have trusted, and now I want revenge!' The wise man shook his head. 'What would you do to those that hurt you?' he asked. 'I'd tear them limb from limb... I'd ruin their business... I'd...' and he broke off. 'Can you help me get revenge?' he begged. 'Yes'' said the wise man. 'I'll certainly help you, but first you must do two things for me.' 'I will, ' said the traveller. 'First, ' said the wise man, 'I want you to tear a branch off that tree over there.' The traveller readily went to the tree and twisted off a large branch. 'There you are! What's the second thing?' The wise man smiled. 'Now put it back, ' he said. The traveller stood staring. 'I can't do that, ' he said. 'No, ' said the wise man. 'So remember this; it's very easy to wound and destroy, but it is more difficult to repair the damage that has been done. Note that the tree won't hurt you back. It will go on growing and bearing fruit. It's much better to be creative than destructive - - even to people that have hurt you.'... For every moment you want revenge, and then realise it is both pitiful and destructive, there is a moment of sweetness soon after; as you settle for a positive attitude instead of a negative. Rather than wallow in your own sadness, rejoice in the skill you have developed to overcome your revenge. (Unknown Author) QUOTE: 'Just as a trainer disciplines and calms a wild and wilful steed by subjecting it to skilful and prolonged training, so must the wild, wandering, random activities of body and speech be tamed to make them docile, righteous and skilful.' (His Holiness the Dalai Lama). [[ct]]: Bipolar Disorder
