Words are an encumbrance
Words are an encumbrance to thought.
When we wish for direct communication with the inner nature of things
It is the consciousness of reason that holds us back.
Thus we can only regard these outward trappings, as obstacles,
On the way to gaining a clear perception of truth.

You cannot do everything
You cannot
Do everything for everyone
You cannot
Do everyone else’s job as well as your own
You cannot
Take responsibility for everyone else’s actions
You cannot
Neglect your own duties
You can only do so much each day.
John Audet
Is what you are doing
Is what you are doing what you are supposed to be doing?
Is what you are doing what you are actually doing?
Is what you could be doing is doing nothing?

The importance of things
Do the important things in your life fit into the way you want to live?
And have you set your priorities in the right order?
And what’s the result?
Do you know what you are supposed to be doing with your life?
And if you don’t know, you had better find out before it’s over
And if you do know, are you doing it?

We are ever insensitive
We are ever insensitive to those who love and provide for our needs
In silence and without reward,
But the time will come
When for our heartlessness and assumptions upon their loyalty,
That we shall find ourselves alone and abandoned
By these the noblest of friends.
John Audet
Today has come
Today has come no matter what we have done
Whether we embrace its individuality
And
Change with the times
Or
Whether we resist it
And
Try to stay in yesterday
Nevertheless, it is so
We can either develop with it
And
Control our destiny
Or die in the memories of the past,
For today must be welcomed, for it is.

The flow of my essence
I live in the flow of my essence as it passes through me, not lingering,
Being only of this very moment.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will never be.
I have become as a new born child,
My mind is empty and pure, sheltering no preconceived ideas;
I see things as they are now.
Free from experience and demands not making any judgements.
Because I do not put one life before another I see virtue in all that I touch.
John Audet
You are what you do.
It is not what you think you are within your intimate self that matters,
But rather what you do with this innermost knowledge.
The sum of your life is what you do,
For your life is a self-portrait, there for the whole world to see.
Every single action and deed that you perform
Will have your unmistakable signature on it.
So make sure that you leave no empty spaces and no un-ticked boxes of wishes and aspirations.
Use every talent that you have and cloak every one of them with excellence.
John Audet
Demonstrate your affection for those you care about
With
A kind word, a compliment, a little gift, a gentle touch,
There are
So many ways to say what is important.
If you presume
That you do not have to demonstrate your emotions
Then you are mistaken.
Express your sentiments for no reason at all
This will have true worth.
