Blessing Effort Impossible

More From Dalai Lama

All good things require effort. that which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (matt. 7:7.) but you have to seek, you have to knock. on the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. it walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. you do not have to put forth effort. … evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. but truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.

So my antagonist said, "is it impossible that there are flying saucers? can you prove that it's impossible?" "no," i said, "i can't prove it's impossible. it's just very unlikely." at that he said, "you are very unscientific. if you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" but that is the way that is scientific. it is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
Possible And Impossible Flying Way
The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. some people have many blessings and hoard them. some have few and give everything away.
Real Blessing Issues
Has your work become very easy? do you find you can do it with little effort? has it ceased to impose any strain or fatigue upon you? do you no longer feel loss of vitality after a long spell of it? can you now do it as easy as water rolls off a duck's back? if so, look out! do some stock-taking. examine your output.... work done with little effort is likely to yield little result. every job can be done excellently or indifferently. excellence necessitates effort-hard, sustained, concentrated effort.
Jobs Work Loss
Wins and losses come a dime a dozen. but effort? nobody can judge effort. effort is between you and you. effort ain't got nothing to do with nobody else.
Loss Swimming Winning
Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. you fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. you have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. and once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
