Way of Life

I've been practicing this mode and I am pretty happy with it. Today I come across a website with the same notes about how we see life, and how easier life can be if only we acknowledge that we are responsible for our own actions ... "When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer alot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy" This notion really keeps me strong inside, and to know the cause (or at least belief and accept that there is a cause of an event) helps so much in accepting the misfortune around us, whether it be friends, family, work or personal growth .. Then I was thinking, oh that's cool, we can think the same for good fortunes happening around us too .. and that gives us acknowledgement to our own well deserved credits, and ultimately the ability to embrace the happiness in existence! Boils down to 'live today, do not worry about tomorrow' eh? ;)

P.s. When I tried to copy the text, it says, remember the 2nd percept, do not take what is not given! *gasp* .. I was going to paste the above quote to remind myself about leading a better life ..., I hope its OK - anyways, I always make it a point to always acknowledge the sources .. this I learn from UNI-years!
