You are perfect as you are and there is always room for improvement.

So the secret is just to say 'Yes!' and jump off from here. Then there is no problem. It means to be yourself, always yourself, without sticking to an old self.

If you take pride in your attainment or become discouraged because of your idealistic effort, your practice will confine you by a thick wall.

If I tell you something, you will stick to it and limit your own capacity to find out for yourself.

To express yourself as you are, without any intentional, fancy way of adjusting yourself, is the most important thing.

To be different is to have value. In this sense all things have equal, absolute value. Each thing has absolute value and thus is equal to everything else.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
