I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.

Your reason is your friend. It defends the island of your awareness. But you don't want your reason to rule everything.

Wisdom is something that seeks itself. The wiser you become the more you'd like to know.

It is is easy to smile. It is an act of self-giving. When you smile you are at your best and you give that best to others.

If you have humility, you are willing to undertake anything to spread the dharma.

What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.

A time comes when you don't have to use meditation techniques anymore. You just sit down and you are nonexistence itself.
