Being On Your Own Side
Rick Hanson in Buddha’s Brian:
It’s a general moral principle that the more power you have over someone, the greater duty it is to use that power benevolently. Well, who is the one person in the world you have the greatest power over? It’s your future self. You hold that life in your hands, and what it will be depends on how you care for it.
Note to self.

"People who have only good experiences aren’t very interesting. They may be content, and happy after a fashion, but they aren’t very deep. It may seem a misfortune now, and it makes things difficult, but well—it’s easy to feel all the happy, simple stuff. Not that happiness is necessarily simple. But I don’t think you’re going to have a life like that, and I think you’ll be the better for it. The difficult thing is to not be overwhelmed by the bad patches. You must not let them defeat you. You must see them as a gift—a cruel gift, but a gift nonetheless."

A series of prototype posters I did to address verbal abuse.
I was kind enough to have willing models and a great photographer. Thank you for all your help.
This is awesome. I approve.

"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment."

His Dark Sutra: On Self Love
Don’t be a receptacle for love; a void waiting to be filled by another.
Instead fill yourself with self-love based on all the aspects that make you unique and wondrous.
Then,
Let it flow out of you.
And in time, your hidden lover will see it and arrive at your door.
