If you are a successful person and you let a lot of people in and around your life, they can drain your power. It won't go to them, but it will leave you.
Frederick LenzThe problem is with any practice is that it is a practice. That is why people don't win. The reason why people don't win is they get stuck in ideas, habits, and ways of seeing life.
Frederick LenzThe person who did all of these things has gone away, vanished without a trace in the ecstasy of existence.
Frederick LenzWhat matters is that you meditate, you're seeking enlightenment, you're on the pathway to enlightenment, and you're having fun. Don't look for reassurance in the eyes of others. Look for reassurance in your own eyes. Only you know if Buddhist practice is improving the quality of your life.
