The only invisible defect that you have to remove is the belief that you have one. It is tantamount to viewing yourself as ‘damaged goods’, making it hard for you to love and accept yourself and making it doubly hard for others as well.

Letting go helps us in two ways.
One, it allows us to move forward and approach new experiences with a fresh attitude.
Two, it keeps old experiences from coming in and influencing our current realities.
Whenever we want to go somewhere, we focus on that particular point or location. Remember the previous post on focusing on what you [...]
Sometimes, we tend to forget that, just as with nature, our life will have it’s own cycle of ups and downs. One thought that I really like is that, if nothing is permanent, then suffering itself cannot be permanent. On the other hand, however, good times can’t last forever.

I used to ’not like’ rain. I felt very lonely and sad whenever it rained. Ironically, though, I also developed this rain meditation early on.
