no expectations, no disappointments ...
Perfection is the surest way to frustration
Perfection is like ideal; it keeps changing ~ the artist knows best
Knowledge is like a flow... it keeps changing as new things emerge and are discovered
Letting go eases the heart and relieves the mind
Happiness glows from within when the heart lightens - do not let little doubts bottled up 'into a storm'
Air 气 has weight & takes up space: 生气 ~ 赌气 Anger & frustration occupy the mind and make you uncomfortable & less stable
When water flows is blocked, it shifts ~ from rivers to tributaries ~ water flows will never stagnate
Free your mind and let it wonders
When in doubts or troubled, take a break ~ take a walk in the woods 木 or climb a mountain 山
The Chinese characters are pictorially representative - Add human 人 to wood 木 , you get rest 休. Add human 人 to mountain 山， you get fairy 仙 [happiness]
Lotus grow well in muddy waters, bathe with abundant sunlight and dance in the breeze ~ Nature has a way to create picturesque miracles
As our mind relaxes, it releases endorphins and enhanced cognitive functions
A balanced mind, body and Soul manifests
Walk away when the heat gathers; fire burns and maims - when you can't take the heat, walk out of the kitchen
Enjoy the beauty of life
We work to live and not live to work [slaves]
Make enough [money], make more while you can and hoard sufficiently such that you have a choice to 'not' work
When you find meanings to/in life, money is often not definitive but some intangible ideals
Giving [away] is a blessing 施舍 ~ 有舍就有得
