If it is not helping you, be done with it. If it is not helping you, it belongs to the category of noise/complexity/drama. If it is not helping you, it is hurting you. Take an inventory. Divide your life into the things that are helping you and the things that are not helping you. All the external things that promise to be of such great help to you-- how many of them are of any help to you at all? Practically all of the truly helpful things are internal. Courage. Devotion. Loyalty. Creativity. Ingenuity... All of the things that help you rise to the occasion and do what needs to be done are there within you. In a situation in which you need something, it arises of its own accord, and you have exactly the word, the insight, the vision-- you know exactly what to do, when, where and how to do it, spontaneously arising at the moment it is needed. Nurture that. Nourish that. By spending time with that. In emptiness, stillness and silence. Spend time with what is helpful. Not with what is not.

Yes! a great list, and I needed those qualities especially today as I faced some necessary home repairs (of all things). Nothing soulful just practical stuff that called on my courage to face!

We all know what needs to be done, where/when/how and the only thing standing in our way is lethargy/laziness. “Maybe later, maybe tomorrow, maybe sometime…” There is nothing to equal the power generated by getting up and doing what needs to be done. That is the real Super Power. If only there were Powder Milk Biscuits on hand!
