Ocean of Dharma- The Everyday Wisdom of Chogyam Trungpa

WILLING

Ask yourself: Is there something worthwhile and trustworthy in me? Of course there is! But it's so simple that we tend to miss it or discount it. When we look into ourselves we tend to fixate on our neurosis, restlessness, and aggression. Or we might fixate on how wonderful, accomplished, and invulnerable we are, but those feelings are usually superficial, covering up our insecurities. Take a look. There is something else, something more than all that. We are willing: willing to wait, willing to smile, willing to be decent.
