Enthusiasm cannot be a continuous state. It comes in waves.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.

Thinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.

The dog is still in the natural state. And you can easily see that, because you have problems and your dog doesn't. And while your happy moments may be rare, your dog celebrates life continuously.

When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you're waiting for the elevator - instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.
