and a letter from a candy fairy showing gratitude for the help. | 63 | 3.946 | |
It is the story of Princess Aurora during her | 45 | 4.028 | |
the princess would die from the prick of a spinning wheel spindle. | 66 | 4.702 | |
There were other good fairies at the | 36 | 3.12 | |
To everything that happens, I say yes. | 38 | 3.232 | |
One of them helps her and modify the curls. | 43 | 3.205 | |
As predicted, she was pricked by a spindle and fell asleep. | 59 | 4.428 | |
After one hundred years, a young prince tried to get into the castle to see the famous Sleeping Beauty. | 103 | 6.112 | |
he was stunned by the battle when he found her | 46 | 3.412 | |
He broke the chorus and everyone in the castle awoke. | 53 | 3.58 | |
There are so many stories to tell in this world. | 48 | 4.677 | |
But I believe that this training that I made | 44 | 3.521 | |
because of a good rhythm, a good vitality, a good emphasis, that I can stop it and I can give to my | 99 | 8.246 | |
and I'm sure I will be able to do a great job out of this. | 58 | 4.777 | |
of this speech, of this audio, of this audio file. | 50 | 3.634 | |
I would have liked to read about Pinocchio and the fairy. Pinocchio is an Italian fairy tale. | 93 | 7.013 | |
I'm really sure, I'm pretty sure that it's good enough. Okay, bye-bye. | 70 | 4.571 | |
In an interview, he shares his interpretation of the monk's advice. | 67 | 5.595 | |
Most of our pain, most of our suffering, | 40 | 3.099 | |
Life is, and when we resist what life is, | 41 | 3.691 | |
surrender to life and say, okay, what should I be now? | 54 | 4.157 | |
When the weather is bad, when your crush won't answer, when the obstacle won't budge, | 85 | 6.425 | |
Don't dig in your heels and push and shove until your veins pop out in the frustration. | 87 | 7.043 | |
Let the current carry you instead. | 34 | 4.097 | |
A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. | 56 | 4.008 | |
As the monks were preparing to cross the river, | 47 | 3.034 | |
they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. | 67 | 5.217 | |
The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side of the river. | 82 | 4.946 | |
the two monks glanced at one another because they had taken | 59 | 4.487 | |
vows not to touch a woman. | 26 | 3.023 | |
carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey. | 94 | 7.467 | |
The younger monk couldn't believe what had just happened. | 57 | 3.246 | |
He was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them. | 66 | 4.678 | |
then three finally the young monk the younger monk could not contain himself any longer | 87 | 6.915 | |
How could you then carry that woman on your shoulders? | 54 | 4.258 | |
Resisting to what life is trying to tell you is exhausting. | 59 | 4.313 | |
But resisting to what life has already told you is guaranteed. | 62 | 5.096 | |
And after many days he returned confused. | 41 | 3.592 | |
If you feel guilty, it was a mistake you can fix. | 49 | 3.688 | |
If you feel ashamed, it was a mistake you shouldn't repeat. | 59 | 4.207 | |
to let it go, not to carry the weight on our shoulders all the time. | 68 | 5.294 | |
We read and talk about the third story, the Crystal Car. | 56 | 4.489 | |
A Zen master was given a beautifully crafted crystal car. | 57 | 4.419 | |
he was very grateful. Every day he enjoyed drinking out of his glass. | 69 | 5.131 | |
and tell them about the kindness of his students. | 49 | 3.127 | |
But every morning he held the cup in his hand for a few seconds and reminded himself. | 85 | 5.933 | |
The river does not try to go faster. | 36 | 3.558 | |
It was smashed into thousands of tiny pieces. | 45 | 3.995 | |
he picked up a broom and started sweeping. | 42 | 3.425 | |
in the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. | 35 | 3.13 | |
Half of happiness is being okay with what you don't get. | 56 | 4.235 | |
The man who remembers to be grateful for his possessions is ahead of most. | 74 | 5.306 | |
But the man who knows they want less is ahead of him still. | 59 | 4.743 | |
I found the idea for this in the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. | 61 | 4.989 | |
About a year ago I wrote that half of happiness is being okay with what you don't get. | 86 | 5.761 | |
I know what the other half is, being okay with losing what you have. | 68 | 5.051 | |
The Bowl. This is the story number four. | 40 | 3.088 | |
Joshua said, Then you had better wash your boat. | 48 | 3.488 | |
I can only echo what Leo Babauta said about this story. | 55 | 4.917 | |
There is something profound and yet minimalist about this advice. It's | 70 | 5.044 | |
But most of the time there is no need to think or plan or strategize because ultimately it won't make a big difference which option we choose. | 142 | 9.829 | |
There is always one or multiple next steps to take. | 51 | 3.704 | |
so we might as well take any of any one of them | 47 | 3.599 | |
Often there is more satisfaction to be drawn from doing. | 56 | 3.83 | |
No matter how your path unfolds, mindfulness always lies on the way. | 68 | 6.194 | |
The first man says, I'm thinking of moving to this town. | 56 | 3.851 | |
It was dreadful. Everyone was hateful. I hated it. | 50 | 4.496 | |
The Zen master says this town is very much the same. | 52 | 3.653 | |
The second man says, I'm thinking of moving to this town. | 57 | 4.11 | |
It was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and I was happy. | 56 | 3.66 | |
The Zen master says, this town is very much the same. I think you will like it here. | 84 | 5.464 | |
What we seek is what we find. The reasons why you do what you do. | 65 | 5.461 | |
Matter as much if not more as what you end up doing | 51 | 4.849 | |
because they shape how you seek so ultimately | 45 | 3.411 | |
the river of our life into the float. | 37 | 4.228 | |
The reality is in our eyes. | 27 | 3.795 | |
A learned man once went to visit a Zen teacher to inquire about Zen. | 68 | 4.559 | |
The learned man frequently interrupted to express his own opinion about this or that. | 85 | 5.888 | |
Finally, the Zen teacher stopped talking and began to serve tea to the learned man. | 83 | 6.015 | |
He poured the cup full, then kept pouring until the cup overflowed. | 67 | 4.994 | |
The cup is full. No more can be poured in. | 42 | 4.372 | |
Like this cup, you are full of your own opinions, replied the Zen teacher. | 74 | 4.871 | |
If you do not first empty your cup, how can you taste my cup of tea? | 68 | 5.37 | |
What if the two men from before came from the same town? | 56 | 4.055 | |
with our own little measuring sticks. | 37 | 3.887 | |
biased, subjective, arbitrary measuring stakes. | 47 | 4.46 | |
Empathy, however, always works. Seeing the world through. | 57 | 4.149 | |
Other people's eyes is like throwing out the stick. | 51 | 3.935 | |
You cannot do it without wondering. | 35 | 3.012 | |
It's never easy and sometimes it ends up being unnecessary. | 59 | 4.21 | |
Let's move to the final story of this article, and that is the seventh story, the four candles. | 95 | 7.528 | |
Four monks decided to meditate silently without speaking for two weeks. | 71 | 4.34 | |
They lit a candle as a symbol of their practice and began. | 58 | 3.472 | |
By nightfall on the first day the candles flickered and then went out. | 70 | 5.445 | |
The first monk said, oh no, the candle is out. The second monk said, we are not supposed to talk. | 97 | 6.551 | |
The fourth monk laughed and said, Ah, I'm the only one who didn't speak. | 72 | 5.291 | |
they all had different reasons but each of the of the four monks shared his thoughts | 84 | 5.446 | |
I'm really happy about this opportunity to read. | 48 | 4.803 | |
to get | 6 | 3.064 | |
he would have remained silent and kept meditating. | 50 | 3.45 |
