Simplicity
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound
to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must
stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is
right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
– Abraham Lincoln

Whenever you are in doubt or the self becomes too much with you, try the following expedient: Recall the face of the poorest and most helpless person you have ever seen and ask yourself if the step you are about to take will be of any use to her or him.
Then (perhaps, as Mahatma Gandhi suggests) you will find your doubts and your self melting away.

The “Miracles” I talk about have nothing to do with incredible
acts of nature or scientific discoveries that boggle the mind..
These things may well be stunning.
Think for a moment that the average person has 25,550 days
she/he will live on this planet.
That’s 25,550 opportunities to bring
loving-kindness to your part of the planet.
I wonder why that was so much easier when we were two?
(Assuming you were not raised in a home
surrounded by profound unwellness.)
