In this post I would like like to share a passage from a book called "The Art Of Power" by Thich Nhat Hanh:
"What most people call power Buddhists call cravings. The five cravings are for wealth, fame, sex, fancy food, and lots of sleep. In Buddhism, we speak of the five true powers, five kinds of energy. The five powers are faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and insight. The five powers are the foundation of real happiness."
Apply this to your life...how much time do you spend pursuing the five cravings? What would it be like if you changed your focus onto the five powers? How would you life change? Just even going through this mental exercise have you noticed an energy shift within you?
