With intelligence, you may be successful and live a luxurious life possessing most material wealth. Wisdom is the only means that makes one happy and understand the reality of living and live a fruitful life although one may not be rich.

Many people don't understand and appreciate that they actually have given a lot and can be found within them and yet they always pray for more. As a result they thought that God or Buddha has deprived them of their wants.

Our mind should always be subtle enough to adjust our conduct to our surroundings. Our compassion and loving-kindness should always flow like a river to people whom we may come across.

Things are always changing, so nothing can be yours.
You come here alone and leave this place empty handed on your own. Going through life is just like watching your own movie show. Whatever you have possessed turns to dust. Make sure your soul is purified with wisdom and merits before you complete your last breath.

Romancing Your Soul
For many years I wanted badly to fit in. I believed what people told me I should be. I blindly followed the crowd. Often that meant doing what other people wanted which resulted in going against my better judgment and principles.
Attempting to fit the behavior and values of others was not comfortable. I was stressed, disappointment and angry with
myself.
In the end, letting go of the people who were negative influences felt much better than going against myself. Soon new people whose behavior and values aligned with my own began showing up. I learned it is in letting go of negative that I am free to receive positive.
( Be yourself, look within to find your teacher and look around to look for people who are positive in nature. Our time in this world is short, we should not waste our own time mixing with people who are negative unless they are willing to change for the better.)
