Here's a simple yet foundational teaching from the Buddha: "Abandon what is unskillful. One can abandon the unskillful. If it were not possible, I would not ask you to do so." . . . Having read that, pause to ask yourself: "What's not working well in my life? What area is unskillful and no longer serves me well?"
. . . There's a second part to the Buddha's teaching: "Cultivate that which is skillful. One can cultivate the skillful. If it were not possible, I would not ask you to do so." . . . Now, having read this second part of his teaching, pause to ask yourself: "What brings me a great deal of satisfaction, pleasure, joy and happiness in life?" . . . Do more of that!
