Happy Vesak

A couple of personal reflections on this Day for Making Peace with Myself.

Sometimes I just need to give it time.
- Working smart is good when it works, but giving myself pressure to work smart when I can't only makes things worse.
- Not everything can, or should, be solved with a series of shortcuts.
- "Cross the bridge when you come to it" still holds true. Unless I'm supposed to build that bridge; then go ahead anytime.

The To Do list is always long. It's just as acceptable for "taking a rest" to be in there.


May I be well.
- May I always remember how to take care of myself.
May I be happy.
- May I not cause myself unhappiness through anger and worry.
May I be safe.
- May I earn the protection of a clear conscience.
May I be at peace with myself.
- May I always remember to be kind to myself.

May all be well.
- May I always remember to be kind to others.
May all be happy.
- May I be mindful so as not to cause others unhappiness.
May all be safe.
- May I be mindful to help others when I can.
May all be at peace with themselves.
- May I be mindful to accept others as they are.
