Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other
discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life
unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away
from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the
end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,
and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for
him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go,
non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness
practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as
a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in
giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give
yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or
some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to
accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and
from the universe.
