Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts.
We yearn for there to be meaning to our lives, balanced with a sense of inner peace & joy.
It is a powerful practice to be generous when you are the one feeling in need.
Patience lives in the gap between our experience of an event and our response to that experience.
The more we genuinely care about others the greater our own happiness & inner peace.
Observing your thoughts, feelings & sensations is the grist of the practice.
