1st lesson of the day
Let go of your anger and any other negative aspects. Forget about what harms others had done to you, forgive them. Instead think of something joyful and memorable. Attract none of those negative aspects during rebirth, breathe in the positive aspects.
I will be a better person one day.
2nd Lesson of the day
Question ourselves: What are family, friends, health, fame and materials are to us?
They are just short-term assets becoz they last not for 70 years but a life time. So, what are long-term assets? It is good karma. Good Karma can shape our present or future lives. Remember Newton's 3rd Law: "for every action, there is a reaction." One reaps what one sows. I am lucky becoz I'm reborn in a place where I can make a difference to others' lives and hence creating good karma. Maybe it's my karma in the past that enabled me to enjoy this priviledge. Good Karma that gives me a good life. How unfair would it be to have people suffering in Africa and Paris Hilton living her life without the need to work? karma gives the answer to my question.
3rd Lesson of the day
One day, a poor man complained to a rich man why he was poor? the rich man told him he was wrong. the rich man was more than willing to make him rich [materials]. He asked whether the poor man is willing to give up one of his eyes for 1 mill pound? or 200k pounds for one of his little fingers? he retorted:"are you crazy?". Each and everyone of us is not poor. God above ordains us with so many great bodies and thus enables us to survive no matter how harsh the environment is. Be thankful each day, coz we will never know which parts of our body will be lost one day...becoz money alone can't buy them back. Love who you are.

no one who's eating,
merely a sequence of intentions, movements, taste, touch, sensations.
that's what we are
and being very mindful of the flow,
we free ourselves from the concept of self
