Happy Thursday loves.

"This slogan means that you should give up possibilities of becoming the greatest person in the world by means of your training. In particular, you may quite impatiently expect that because of lojong practice you will become a better person. You may be hoping that you will be invited to more little clubs and gatherings by your proteges or friends, who are impressed with you. The point is that you have to give up any such possibiity; otherwise, you could become an egomaniac. In toher words, it is too early for you to collect disciples." - Chogyam Trungpa, Training the Mind

"Little clubs!" Ha!
