The Master Cleanse Redux - Day 5:
Wow, surprisingly energetic today. No cravings for solid junk foods. My sense of smell is augmented (I have a terrible sense of smell to begin with). It the end of the day and I am about have my last serving after the herbal tea laxative. I walked up the hill to my building without feeling exhausted when I got to the top.
Last month I stopped on day 5. This time around I really do feel that I can make it to this coming Sunday (Day 10!)
Happiness is an inside job
“Whatever suffering there is in this world, all arises from desiring only myself to be happy.
And whatever joy there is in this world, all arises from desiring to share my happiness with everyone.
”
“Dignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.”
“Our problems are not solved by physical force, by hatred, by war. Our problems are solved by lovingkindness, by gentleness, by joy.”
“Lovingkindness is giving others happiness. Compassion is removing others’ bitterness. Joy is freeing others from suffering.”
