With ENLIGHTENMENT we lose our fears, anxieties, bad reactions and bad habits. ENLIGHTENMENT brings to us; wisdom, awareness, self-illumination. ENLIGHTENMENT in essence means the recognition of the harmony within the deep-rootedness of life. As Lao-Tzu said; “Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is ENLIGHTENMENT.” 

There are those that get impatient when another person presents a new idea. They act dogmatically self-assured. They must be reminded to EMPTY THEIR CUP to make room for new methods and ideas.

There are those that develop anxiety from working “too long” on a project. As Gita said; “one with anxiety there is no wisdom, nor is there the power of concentration, with no concentration there is no peace. And with no peace there is no happiness.” It must be remembered that, it is THE PROCESS NOT THE PRODUCT that brings happiness. 

As we progress in life WE MUST KNOW OUR LIMITS. Stop comparing oneself to others or yourself of the past. As Bruce Lee said; “The past(or another) is an illusion. You must learn to LIVE IN THE PRESENT and accept yourself for what you are now.”

When one is found in a stressful or anxiety provoking situation, when the breathing becomes irregular and fear distorts orderly thought processes, which tend to immobilize the mind. This can be found in some business meetings or personal confrontations. It is necessary to try THE DEEP BREATHING PROCESS. Breath in for four seconds and breath out for seven seconds. Once the rhythm is established there is no need to continue to count. Breath without counting.  Enjoy the ENLIGHTENMENT that arrives. 

TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, STAY HEALTHY. HAVE FAITH. THANK YOU.
