3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

My Practice continues to be busy, keeping me happy! In fact, in general, things are generally on a roll. However there are hazards inherent within success. One is to become arrogant and think it's all down to you, forgetting the benevolent circumstances and the support you've enjoyed. The second is to become wrapped up in your character and lose touch with your True Self. 

I intend to make neither of these mistakes! I will live in the Attitude of Gratitude and keep my mind quiet, focused on life's greatest prize - peace of mind.

8. TRIVIA
A hurricane releases 50 trillion to 200 trillion watts of heat energy. This is as much energy as a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes. 

9. ZEN WISDOM
Each person possesses a precious inner treasure of infinite worth. To remain unaware of this and stumble about in spiritual poverty is a tragic waste. In contrast, a person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own life is capable of truly respecting that treasure in others.
