I belong to the road, at least the trail. That was the mood and spirit of our troupe that returned from the weekend Festival of India roadshow. We were reflecting on the fabulous time, grateful that we could be part of the journey. How can one ever repay the good opportunity given to us by the Supreme.
I sometimes wonder what or where I would be if not for those considerate monks I met, fifty years ago, on Elm St. in Sudbury. They changed my life, gave it purpose, principles and procedures. The other passengers in the vehicle felt the same way; expressing the joys and securities of conscious living.
Vallabha Hari, Mahadeva and Annapurna, all were saying they liked the break from routine. As we passed by through pristine nature; admiring lakes, rivers, trees, and rock, our tanks became fueled with optimism.
We took a break from the long drive to walk on a suspension snowmobile bridge at French River, experiencing super rejuvenation. There are Seven Rules of Life that assist in building the right attitude.
Here are the rules:
1. LET IT GO. Never ruin a good day by thinking about a bad yesterday.
2. IGNORE THEM. Don’t listen to dog’s bark.
3. GIVE IT TIME. Time heals everything.
4. DON’T COMPARE. The person you should beat is you.
5. STAY CALM. Know that time will sort things out.
6. IT’S ON YOU. Only you are in charge of your happiness.
7. SMILE. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can.
