Said another way

1) Trying to change the past will only result in suffering.

2) When your opinions are strong, triple check your premises

3) Follow your own path. To follow another's leads to disappointment and suffering.

4) Time heals all. When one's intentions and motivations are pure.

5) To judge another is also to judge oneself.

6) Accept things as they are. Realize you're not in control.

7) To know oneself is to know one's Buddhanature and blissful happiness.

8) Yor are the product of your thoughts.

9) Smiles can change moods and brighten days.

10) Kindness (and love) can change the world.

11) Never throw in the towel. Take a break, wipe the sweat, and keep going.

12) Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Additional Thoughts

A lot of good common sense packed into a small space.

Simple stuff really. 

However, given the state of the country and the planet a lot of work needs to be done.

Quickly.

Yet many prefer to dither.

At their own peril.

The solution is simple really.

Respect all.

Love many.

Hate no one.

Help all and harm none.

Study the teachings on emptiness.

Not only the emptiness of self... the emptiness of all phenomena.

Ultimately let everything be. 

Just as it naturally is. 

In the vast expanse of the cosmos.

And the vast open blue sky of your heartmind.
