Although we try to live a compassionate life, there will be times when helping someone just isn't enough. Our own life becomes chaotic in our struggle to make sense of the confusion. It doesn't matter what we try to do to alleviate the problem, the chaos continues because the other person is unwilling to release what gives them comfort. As crazy as that sounds, there are those who are used to living a chaotic life, that they become uneasy if things are going too well. They are always waiting for someone to take away their joy because they feel that they don't deserve it. Although it breaks our heart, at some point, we need to take a step back and let the universe flow in the direction that is the most natural. Knowing that we can continue to be compassionate to the pain of others but that we are not solely responsible for their happiness. Today is a day of quiet reflection. Let the universal energy flow through you and revive your spirit. Release the chaos and embrace the serenity and peace that you deserve in your life.
Sometimes we have to create our own light to shine the way...

It's a technique, he learned in Korea.)
