A MESSAGE FOR AWKENING YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS
In the hustle and bustle of the city remember that peace may be found in the silence. Make a continuous effort to get along pretty well with everybody. Tell the truth clearly but on a soft way, and listen to the others even though they are stupids and not bright; they equally will have their stories to tell. Avoyd agressive people, that speak loud, thus they bring strain to the spirit. If you compare yourself to the others, you may become vain or bitter, thus there will always be the ones that are in a better or worse situation than you in life.
Find out how to apreciate your realizations, your plans. Be in for your career, because even if it is very simple its the only asset that is truely yours. Run your business very carefully, because the world is full of wise people, but don't harden your heart and try to find out the good side of them. There are still idealists in this world and everywhere we can find heroical acts. Be yourself. Nevertheless don't pretend that there is any friendship, neither put cinic remarks in love. Although there is everything that is said around us, love is still eternal.
Tenderly accept the advice of the years and keep up the spirit in a strong way to hold the surprises of life. But don't frighten yourself with imaginations. The fear is born through exaustion and lonelyness. Above any self-discipline, be yourself; you are a son of the UNIVERSE as much as the trees and stars, and you have all the right of being here. And eventhough this doesn't seem very clear to you, the right thing is, the old UNIVERSE is developing because of you.
Therefore be in peace with GOD, or what you perceive, feel or call GOD, and even if your activities have been more agitated and exausting in this planet, among noisy confusions and aspirations of life, try to keep your peace of mind, because, although things are happening this way throughout the world it is still great.
You only need to do your daily effort in order to be happy.
