Day 73

10:00 AM

  " To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them..."

This is your step three... The initial thought for most of us will be that we do this step most of the time. " I am good to my friends, I love them..." The thing here is not about love, it is about making them feel worthy all the time. Most of us really try to make our friends feel better when we see that they are suffering. We genuinely want to make them feel better. Thats very noble and compassionate, the only problem is the timing. We do it when we see that they are suffering... We try to help after, we do it late. It is still a great thing to do, but it is late... They are already suffering...
Making people around you feel worthy at all times is the real thing. Before they suffer, before they feel that they need your help. All the time... And the key is to do it without consciously wanting to do it... You should not do it because you are trying to make people around you worthy. You should do it just to do it. Without even thinking and preparing. Just doing it, like a reflex... Raise yourself to a level where this positive energy is all around you at all times, regardless of who is in your surroundings. Have this energy become your shadow... Turn yourself inside out, and become this new energy... Baby steps, of course...

"To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true..."

For me this step is the cornerstone of one's life. This is the most important quality to have in life. Full, happy life, no suffering, I think it is impossible to reach. There will always be something, no matter what spiritual level you are on, there will be suffering. Nevertheless, if you have the optimistic nature, if you really look at the sunny side of everything, you will be without suffering in the middle of suffering... An oasis in the middle of the desert...
Yes you will hurt, you will get angry, but you will love, both the anger and the pain. You will see everything as a rainy day, nothing else. The fact that everything will pass, is deeply rooted within you, so rainy days will bring smiles to your face... Of course they will bring smiles, you know what comes after rain. The sun, the rainbow, all the best things... Your rainy days will become sunny rainy days...

11:00 PM

Snow storm all day today... Wind, snow, cold, just terrible. Then you come to the yoga studio, and because of the storm, instead of 50, there was like 10 students. Lovely... You see, there is the sunny side of this snow storm...
