Assako loko – The world has nothing of its own.

Ūno loko – The world is not enough.

The Dīgha and Majjhima Nikāyas, and the Dhammapada.

Or, if you want it narrowed down...

1. Awareness or observation is an awesome baseline modus operandi to have all day and when I want to think I think then when I'm done I can go back to being aware. 2. Doing good clears up negativity from your mind. 3. You can have hope that you can create a happy future. Your personality is not set in stone. 1. Sevitabbasevitabba sutta . Mahasatipatthana sutta . Rahula sutta.
