You Are Your Own Best Friend

All the thoughts and beliefs that shape our reality, they're all in our own mind. And i've come to feel this again in my own life. This a sense of serenity and peace that arises from recognizing i feel like i'm playing the best that i can with the deck of cards that i have,. That's just a story. I think all of us have the ability and the potential to recognize that we are it. When you become your own best friend, you're going to have that serenity  that you see in these stories that the buddha had where he had no need to defend anything. There's nothing to defend.
