This is Charlie Chaplin at age 26, photographed 100 years ago.
It’s believed he wrote the poem below at age 70.
He pretty much said it all with this one :smile:



As I began to love myself
I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living
against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is Authenticity.

As I began to love myself
I understood how much it can offend somebody
if I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right
and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call this Respect.

As I began to love myself
I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything
that surrounded me
was inviting me to grow.
Today I call this Maturity.

As I began to love myself
I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.
Today I call this Self-Confidence.

As I began to love myself
I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects
for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,
things I love to do and that make my heart cheer,
and I do them in my own way
and in my own rhythm.
Today I call this Simplicity.

As I began to love myself
I freed myself of anything
that is no good for my health –
food, people, things, situations,
and everything that drew me down
and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

As I began to love myself
I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since
I was wrong less of the time.
Today I discovered that is Modesty.

As I began to love myself
I refused to go on living in the past
and worrying about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment,
where everything is happening.
Today I live each day,
day by day,
and I call it Fulfillment.

As I began to love myself
I recognized
that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick.
But as I connected it to my heart,
my mind became a valuable ally.
Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart.

We no longer need to fear arguments,
confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide,
and out of their crashing, new worlds are born.
Today I know: This is Life!

They asked a shaman🗝️🗝️🗝️

"What is poison? :smile:
- Anything beyond what we need is poison.
It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger, or whatever.


- What is fear?
Non acceptance of uncertainty
If we accept uncertainty, it becomes adventure.

What is envy?
- No acceptance of good in the other.
If we accept good, it becomes inspiration.

What is anger?
- No acceptance of what is beyond our control.
If we accept, it becomes tolerance.


What is hate?
- Non-acceptance of people as they are💞
If we accept unconditionally, it becomes love. "

Your own interests and your own life will be balanced only
when they include both the well-being of yourself and others.
Any wholesome undertaking necessarily includes a desire to benefit others :smile:
If an undertaking is egocentric and full of self-cherishing
then that balance will be extremely difficult to find and maintain.
17th Karmapa
from the book "The Heart Is Noble:
Changing the World from the Inside Out"

....in the 1980's psychological research indicated that it was depression in fact, that was the real reason behind 'panic attacks' - and not an underlying fear, as having a panic attack might suggest.

To neutralize 'fear' begin by treating peoples' depression.....

" If you feel that your dreams aren’t coming true
you might think that you need to do more
or to think and strategize more.
In fact, what you might need is less

—less noise coming to you from both inside and outside
—so that you have the space for your heart’s truest intention
to germinate and flourish."
- Thich Nhat Hanh, in ”Silence”.
