Notice how external events train the mind unless you see the physical world as it is. To discover you are awake is to observe thoughts, feelings, the underlying vibrations and expectations. The desire to control subsides. Choose to feel good no matter what. Do not allow people to discourage you. Imagine the worst. Know how you view is always for the best.
Every moment invites you to be aware of what people and situations you permit to affect you and how. When emotional reactions arise, they are serving you. The universe invites you to notice, understand and let go. Loving inner peace is always yours.
"... the soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears." - Native American Saying
