#3

1. Suffering happens, but it does not last forever, and every pain endured contains a lesson to be learned.

2. Earth is a full time school; every person or incident is our teacher.

3. If each one of us sweeps in front of our own steps, the whole world would be clean.

4. If we do not like the way we feel, we can change the way we think.

5. You only have to handle the present moment – that is all that exists.

6. The body weeps the tears that the eyes refuse to shed.

7. The only way to heal the wounds of the past is to forgive them and let them go.

8. Our external state determines our experience of our lives; our experiences do not determine our internal state.

9. Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
