Self-Esteem

Arrogance is foolishness. Pride is unrealistic.
The discovery of humility is pain.
Humility, itself, is freedom.
Pride in one's humility is seductive and dangerous.
Self-esteem is an illusion when it is esteem for the self.
Esteem for the Self is Wisdon.
Guilt is natural. Compassion is natural.
Two ends of the same stick.
Gratitude is the natural response to opening one's eyes.
Moments of seeing - gifts themselves.
Clinging to unreality is demanding and exhausting.
Reality is just as it is.
Make your image a realistic one.
Disappear into the mystery of being ordinary.
It's a long fall, but the ground is soft and firm.

Please Remind Me

Please remind me of why I am here
in this part of the world,
when I am somewhere else.

When anger stirs
over unwashed dishes,
unkept promises,
and unpaid bills,

please soften my heart
and remind me
of why I am here.

When frustration is triggered
by the same argument
for the hundredth time,

please tame my words,
deepen my breath,
and remind me of why I am here.

When my attention is drawn
like a magnet
to myself -
my needs,
my wants,
my comfort,
my pain-

please blink my mind
and allow my eyes to see
into the heart of another,
that I may attend to their needs

and bear their pain
and be dissolved
into the reason I am here.

I know that reason
yet, so often,
I find myself somewhere else
and forget.
Please remind me.

Tension Not.

Dont be Tension
The moment you are in tension
You will lose your attention
Then you are in total confusion
and you will feel irritation
This may spoil your personal relation
Ultimately, you wont get co-operation
And set things into complication
Then your BP may raise caution
And you may have to take medication
Why not try understanding the situation
Many problems will be solved by discussion
Which will work out better in your profession
Dont think it's my free suggestion
It is only for your prevention
If you understand my intention
You'll never come again into tension.
" So, stay cool......:-)
