Reflection for July 2004

         

                          The Six Mistakes of Man

1. The illusion that personal gain is made up of
     crushing others.

2. The tendency to worry about things that
    cannot be changed or corrected.

3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because
    we cannot accomplish it.

4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

5. Neglecting development and refinement of
    the mind, and not acquiring the habit of
    reading and study.

6. Attempting to compel others to believe and
    live as I do.

                       --Marcus Tulliu Cicero, 
                          Roman Statesman
                          (106 B.C.- - 43 B.C.)


           

Monthly Practice:

bullet For the month of July, make a concerted effort and daily discipline of refraining from these six mistakes, which limit ourselves and others.

bullet Track what specific changes, discoveries, and opportunities become available as a result of your practice and discipline of refraining from, or limiting yourself from these ancient and repetitive mistakes.
