Let happiness measure the fullness of this day.

The ego prevents us from helping ourselves by presenting a false notion of what it really means to help ourselves.

~Gehlek Rinpoche~

Fear is the part of the dark side. Fear is to anger, and anger is to hate, hate leads to internal suffering

Choosing the best time for meditation depends of your daily activities, but usually early morning is a good bet. It is quieter, your mind is not filled with the usual clutter, and there is less of a chance you will be disturbed. Make it a habit to get up half an hour earlier than you need to so you can meditate. Being consistent is the objective. So it´s better if you practice half an hour or even fifteen minutes each day than one hour just once in a week.
