Many of us are slaves to our minds. Our own mind is our worst enemy. We try to focus, and our mind wanders off. We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night. We try to be good to the people we love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first.

Ultimately, as individuals we each have to ask ourselves to be courageous and apply certain principles.

Shambhala teachings say we all have the potential to accomplish our enlightened nature - our basic goodness.
