Hello, wonderful Open Heart Project.
Last week we looked at Right Livelihood, the fifth step on the Noble Eightfold Path. This week is step six: Right Effort.
Right Effort doesn’t mean trying harder or doing more. It means not giving up on ourselves, one another, or this world. It means staying connected to our lives when what we meet is difficult, and finding ways to be of benefit. We meet our experience as it is, without pulling away from it or demanding that it be different.
Give it some thought and reach out. I’d love to hear what you think.
Love,
Susan
