Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ,
saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya.
Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ

One should give up anger, renounce pride,
and overcome all fetters.
Suffering never befalls one
who clings not to mind and body and is detached.

It’s getting to be Halloween time and just about every candy known to Americans is available in large quantities in stores all across the U.S. Among them? The New Reese’s Take 5, formerly the Hershey’s Take 5. Is it new? Is it different?
According to the internet, this is a simple packaging change, changing from drab black to the classic Reese’s in-yo-face orange.
I find this to be a damnable lie. And I have proof.
The thing is, I’m not a big candy/sugar person. But the Hershey’s Take 5 was a great little treat every now and then (I even had a few old ones in my cabinet). It was sweet and salty and crunchy – yum! The Reese’s Take 5 simply isn’t as good. It’s too sweet. The salty goodness is muted.
My daughter and I cut these two treats into quarters and had a taste test. Here’s our…

People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Easy to do are things
that are bad and harmful to oneself.
But exceedingly difficult to do
are things that are good and beneficial.

Attā hi attano nātho;

Attanā hi sudantena,
nāthaṃ labhati dullabhaṃ.
One truly is the protector of oneself;
who else could the protector be?
With oneself fully controlled,
one gains a mastery that is hard to gain.
Dhammapada 12.160
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
It all starts with you. How you feel about yourself. What you silently and boldly affirm. No matter what’s happening, give yourself that extra love and care. You’re transforming, growing, releasing, and becoming more aware. You’re realizing your worth and what you deserve. You’re awakening to your own mental powers that it all starts within you. This realization brings so much potential, hope, and possibilities, but at the same time a rebirth. You’re shedding so much of your past self and coming out on top. Step by step. Moment by moment. It’s all happening in such a divine way. Don’t judge yourself for your current situation, experience, or circumstance. Learn from it. Grow from it. Evolve from it. Decide right now that you are ready to move forward into your blessings. Loving yourself is the highest frequency. Nurture your mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Take some time for yourself to get your inner world in order. Everything external you have already created. Something new must now emerge. It’s time for new thoughts, new visions, and new goals. The old habits or things that haven’t worked aren’t surviving your personal growth. It’s getting easier to let go of what doesn’t work because you love yourself. It’s all good to because you’re making peace with it. You are forgiving yourself. You are forgiving ever situation. You are free and feeling light allowing the excess to go. Your mind and heart is feeling lighter. It’s all okay. You are such a gift for this planet. Your existence makes an impact on everything. Love yourself. Feel good about who you are. This is the start of your magical journey. Everything will begin to seem unreal. You’ll be so glad you decided. There’s a whole world and many possibilities waiting for you to make that choice. It’s time.
