Piecing together your unique story

Innocence is a state of mind that is characterized by natural harmlessness, openness, and pure intentions. It is not determined by age, but rather by one's attitude and the willingness to treat all creatures with compassion and respect. Innocence is guided by a firm faith in what is just and balanced, and can bring supreme success. On the other hand, naiveté proceeds blindly, without the ability to discern right from wrong, and can bring misfortune.

The hallmark of innocence is the ability to remain open to joy and wonder. Those who possess a pure heart are best guided by their instincts and intuition. Thinking too much can sever the links with the guidance of the heart, so it is important to be wary of courses of action that require too much cleverness.

To see what is right and not do it is a lack of courage. To function most effectively, one must be fully present in each moment. It is important to enjoy life and stop trying to impress others in order to gain their approval. Instead of focusing on an imagined future, focus on honoring each aspect of life or work. This way, you will remain open and alert.

Although planning and thought are still necessary, it is important to remember that it is never possible to foresee every contingency. Learn to react moment to moment instead of wasting too much energy on things that will probably never happen. Find the balance you need between childlike confidence and the wisdom of experience.

Piecing together all the wisdom and teachings to form a meaningful message that will make sense to people reading it and invoke feelings and thoughts that will get them to reflect on their lives in general. By following these teachings, one can live a fulfilling life guided by innocence and wisdom.

Innocence implies a natural harmlessness, an openness, and pure intentions unsullied by ulterior motives. The condition of innocence has less to do with age than with attitude. Innocence springs from a heart that remains open to joy and wonder. Innocence, when guided by a firm faith in what is just and balanced, brings supreme success.

Naiveté, on the other hand, proceeds blindly, unanchored by the ability to discern right from wrong, and can bring misfortune. The hallmark of Innocence is a willingness to treat all creatures with compassion and respect. Those who possess a pure heart are best guided by their instincts and intuition.

Thinking too much severs links with the guidance of the heart. Be wary of courses of action that require too much cleverness. To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage. To function most effectively you must be fully present in each and every moment.

Enjoy life. Stop trying to impress others in order to gain their approval. Instead of concentrating on this aspect of life which focuses on an imagined future, focus and honor each aspect of life or work. This way you will remain open and alert.

Although planning and thought are still needed, it is a reminder that it is never possible to foresee every contingency. Learn to react moment to moment rather than wasting too much energy on things that will probably never happen.
