Staying On The Path
...Being aware that there is a path and choosing to "stay on it".

Life is an attitude. It's what you choose to believe, always!

The more space you allow and encourage within a relationship, the more the relationship will flourish.

You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.

No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can make you anything other than what you allow inside.

Whenever other people are upset, always remember that they own the upset and you can refuse to join them.

When you have the choice between being right and being kind, just choose kind.

Staying On The Path
..Part 2
...'The Easy Path'

As I let go of my feelings of guilt,
I am in touch with my inner sociopath.

I have the power to change my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.

I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.

I no longer need to punish, deceive or compromise myself, unless I want to stay employed.

I honor my personality flaws for without them I would have no personality at all.

I am grateful that I am not as judgemental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.

I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain.

All of me is beautiful, even the ugly, stupid and disgusting parts.

Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots.

As I learn to trust the universe,
I no longer need to carry a gun.

Enlightenment
Van Morrison

Chop that wood
Carry water
What's the sound of one hand clapping
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

Every second, every minute
It keeps changing to something different
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It says it's non attachment
Non attachment. non attachment

I'm in the here and now, and I'm meditating
And still I'm suffering but that's my problem
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

Wake up

Enlightenment says the world is nothing
Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion
And nothing is real

Good or bad baby
You can change it anyway you want
You can rearrange it
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Chop that wood
And carry water
What's the sound of one hand clapping
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

All around baby. you can see
You're making your own reality. everyday because
Enlightenment, don't know what it is

One more time

Enlightenment. don't know what it is
It's up to you
Enlightenment. don't know what it is
It's up to you everyday
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's always up to you
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's up to you, the way you think
