“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed”
An ancient Chinese proverb says that if a man has a happy mind, he will have a happy body. A happy mind is sick of sicknrss—- it refuses to anticipate that things will get worse. It sees a sniffle, a stomachache, back or knee discomfort, and fatigue as messages to follow the body’s signals back to a natural state of well-being. A happy mind thinks of the body as capable of healing infirmities because it knows that it isn’t a human creation, but a product of the Tao. A happy mind trusts the capacity of the body to live without sickness or suffering. So use your happy mind to work with you to stay healthy.
