Book: Tao. The path without a path

You have to remember one basic law: whatever happens to you, you asked for it and never someone else, always you. And a way to become the master of your life. If you are unhappy, remember that you yourself made unhappy. Perhaps there is an external reason, but a reason never make anybody unhappy, yet he didn't want to. And when you are happy, also have an external drive. But if you understand this, you will find that there are a million external reasons, you have to choose. If you want to be unhappy, if you need misery, if you like to suffer, you can always find an excuse, obviously. The world makes it impossible for any mood, for any state of consciousness. You can choose, but the choice will be yours.
