“Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.” Wayne Dyer, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
I was reflecting on authenticity and that as I am out and about or busy with my work that the love that I seek is not really Love… but that it is a state of consciousness in my mind and that it really is based on body sensations and notions, however subtle, that are not true and wholesome like the ideal of love. True love does not come and go and it cannot be found in the world and as I stayed with this, with the stillness, I knew love cannot be found one moment and then lost in another. This presence with Love is timeless, without objects and it might be characterized, although there are no properties in the stillness, I’m saying it is a Self-knowing, Self-recognizing peaceful and serene consciousness of I know this awareness.. a consciousness I recall the experience of as like I’d been in a deep sleep and it is refreshing like a deep object-less sleep.
So, I want to recall the most important contribution that I think I found about the truth. Meditation promotes well-being by reducing stress, depression, anxiety, blood pressure, addiction, by boosting immune systems and by improving our memory.
Forty years ago,Matthieu Ricard, a French genetic scientist left an intellectual life, moved to India and took up a study of Buddhism. He is now a western scholar of religion and he was recently claimed by brain research scientists to be the happiest man on the planet.
His daily routine of meditation made possible amazing brain scans demonstrate that if he is meditating on compassion, Ricard’s brain produces a level of gamma waves never before reported within neuroscience literature.
While his is the pinnacle of measures, you to may change your brain. You have the capacity to heal including all of your emotional confusions. If you set out to accomplish this, you can gradually increase your awareness and your inner peace by mindfulness. You can transform your brain, create new neural circuits and change the way your brain neurons more efficiently will communicate with each other.
After he was diagnosed with leukemia, Wayne Dyer decided to have an unconventional surgery with healer John of God. The twist? John of God was in Brazil; Wayne was in Maui. Watch as he describes the surgery and how he felt immediately thereafter:
How did Wayne feel after his “sutures” were removed?
Plus, watch to find out how he’s said he was feeling afterward:
.
“… everything that is fear cannot be love…
everything that is love cannot be fear…”
He embraced the mysterious ways of spiritual blessings from love. Stories like Dyer and others give me pause… love is of God… incomprehensible and yet, perfectly wonderful. This man and his work is of love.
Seek Inner Peace
Wayne Dyer’s “10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace” work explores basic principles for changing one’s outlook on life. The principles for success and inner peace is a simple, honest guide to living happily.
I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a link to each of the posts.
#1Have a Mind That Is Open to Everything and Attached to Nothing An open mind allows you to explore and create and grow. In all of your relationships, if you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be without any expectations or attachments from you, you’ll know true peace in your lifetime.
#2You can’t give away what you don’t have
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple.
#3There Are No Justified Resentments Be willing to send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way… readily offer forgiveness.
#4Don’t die with your music still in you Find your passion and follow it even if it means marching to your own drumbeat when it’s different from what everyone else or society says you should be doing.
#5Embrace Silence There’s a momentary silence in the space between your thoughts that you can become aware of with practice. In this silent space, you’ll find the peace that you crave in your daily life.

The Coming of the Kingdom – Luke 17:20-21, KJV
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
.
#6Give Up Your Personal History Your past is over! When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. Your mediation practice keeps building immunity. The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you.
#7You Can’t Solve a Problem with the Same Mind That Created It In order to solve relationship problems, you need to adopt a different mindset by questioning the negative thought(s) and replacing them with positive ones that are as or more true.
#8Treat Yourself As If You Already Were What You’d Like to Become The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, the more inspired you are . . . you discover that you’re a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be . . . dormant forces that were dead or nonexistent, springing into being and collaborating with you as a result of your becoming inspired and acting as if what you want is already here!
#9Treasure Your Divinity There is no place that God is not. You are energized by the divine intelligence that supports everything and everyone on this planet.

I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a chance to discover them all from a single list that links to each of the posts. Originally, each post features Dr. Dyers video. Most were since removed from YouTube, but I replaced the missing video with quality, and suitable, other training videos.
We are all “works in progress” we may say. Sometime, we get caught up in the past only to feel there is too little or no energy to live in the present.
The series of lessons is designed to help us move away from the dominance of the past (problems) into opportunities for higher energy and creativity that stem from deepest wisdom and truth (solutions). Understanding of wisdom and truth then is expanding. Your truth is expanding… as you move into the flow of your higher-self truth (living in your solution).

10Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.

The Tenth Principle: Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You
Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.
Dr. Dyer talks about a simple muscle test where you hold your arm out to the side and think a thought. Have someone else put pressure on your arm. If you think a thought that is true your arm will remain strong. However, if you think a thought that is false your arm will become weak. He also talks about David Hawkins’ book, Power vs.Force and explains that “every thought computes to either weaken or strengthen you.
Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.
Power urges you to live and perform at your own highest level, and it is compassionate.
Thoughts of attack and force actually weaken you . . . In an athletic event, your thoughts are on overpowering your opponent, being better than another, and playing and winning at any cost. The entire muscular structure of your body is actually weakened . . . if in the midst of an athletic event you can keep your thoughts on performing at your highest capacity, on using your inner strength to muster the energy to be as efficient as it’s possible for you to be, and to have great respect for your God-given abilities, you will actually be empowering yourself.
The thought that makes most people the weakest is shame . . . The importance of forgiving yourself cannot be stated strongly enough . . . No amount of guilt will ever undo what’s been done. If your past behavior mobilizes you to learn from your mistakes, this is not guilt; it’s learning from the past. But to wallow in the present moment over your so-called errors is guilt, and it can only take place now. . . . Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. You empower yourself with love and respect, letting go of standards of perfection and refusing to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that only continue to frustrate and weaken you.
.
Wayne Dyer – Power of Intention:
.
You have the choice each day to wake up and say, ‘Good morning, God’ or ‘Good God; Morning!’ It’s always a choice . . . to me it’s an insult to this wondrous universe filled with a hundred million miracles to ever allow myself to think thoughts of boredom or apathy . . . When you’re afraid, you’ve moved away from love . . . Remember . . . Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.
The most empowering thoughts you can have are those of peace, joy, love, and acceptance . . . these thoughts stem from willingness to allow the world to be as it is . . . All of this is nothing more than a conscious decision on your part to be in charge of your thinking.
Be aware at any given moment in your life that you always have a choice about the thoughts you allow in your mind. No one else can put a thought there. Regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, there is your choice.
.
.
Choose to replace weakening thoughts with thoughts of a higher spiritual frequency . . . Your mind is yours to control. You are the creator and selector of your thoughts. You can change them at will. It is your God-given inheritance, your corner of freedom that no one can take away. No one can have control of your thoughts without your consent. So choose to avoid thoughts that weaken you, and you will know true wisdom. It is your choice!

The Ninth Principle: Treasure Your Divinity
You are a divine creation of God. You can never be separate from that which created you.
While you’re separated in your mind from your source; you lose your divine power, the power of your source.
Just like the drop of water, you too will change form and ultimately return to your source.
As long as you feel disconnected from God, you lose the power of your source, which is the unlimited power to create, to be miraculous, and to experience the complete joy of being alive.
Your ego is nothing more than an idea that you carry around with you everywhere you go. This idea tells you that you are the sum total of what you what you have, what you do, and who you were . . . Your ego also tells you that you’re separate from everything that’s missing in your life. So you spend a great deal of time and energy chasing after what’s missing . . . your ego keeps you in a constant state of fear, worry, anxiety, and stress. It implores you to be better than everyone around you . . . it maintains your separate status from God and it allows you to be terrified of your own divinity.
There is no place that God is not.
Remind yourself of this every day . . . you’re already connected to all that you’d like to attract into your life.
In some inexplicable way, you’re already connected to all that you’d like to attract into your life by the presence of this universal, all-powerful Spirit of God . . . You are a divine creation. You are a being of light who showed up here as a human being at the exact moment you were supposed to . . . You are beloved. You are a miracle. You are a part of the eternal perfection.
Your divine purpose – Wayne Dyer:
.
You are energized by the divine intelligence that supports everything and everyone on this planet. In a world in which this divine intelligence creates everything, there can be no accidents.
.

.
Every time you experience fear, self-rejection, anxiety, guilt, or hate, you’re denying your divinity and succumbing to the influences of that insidious ego mind that has convinced you of your disconnection to God. You are a divine creation of God. You can never be separate from that which created you.

Dr. Dyer tells a story of author U.S. Anderson called Three Magic Words. In the end it is revealed that the words are ‘You are God.’ As Dr. Dyer goes on to explain, “Not God in the sense of ‘above all others and better than everyone else,’ but in the sense of being eternally connected to your source, the ever-present power of love that never abandons you and never runs dry. You can rely on this source if you remind yourself that it includes you at all times.

The Eighth Principle: Treat Yourself As If You Already Were What You’d Like to Become
Whatever it is that you envision for yourself . . . begin acting as if what you would like to become is already your reality. This is a wonderful way to set into motion the forces that will collaborate with you to make your dreams come true . . . inspiration involves a mind that transcends all limitations, thoughts that break all their bonds, and a consciousness that expands in every direction.
The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, the more inspired you are . . . you discover that you’re a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be . . . dormant forces that were dead or nonexistent, springing into being and collaborating with you as a result of your becoming inspired and acting as if what you want is already here! By having the courage to declare yourself as already being where you want to be, you will almost force yourself to act in a new, exciting, and spiritual fashion.
This is a silent agreement between you and God . . . a knowing on your part that success and inner peace are your birthright, that you are a child of God; and as such, you’re entitled to a life of joy, love and happiness.
Furthermore, you act toward everyone else as if they, too, are all that they are capable of becoming . . . particularly with your children, it’s important to always have this little thought in mind:
Catch them doing things right.
Remind them often of their inherent brilliance, their capacity for being responsible, their innate talents, and their fantastic abilities.
Treat them as if they’re already responsible, bright, attractive, and honorable.
Before your next encounter . . . have expectations that focus on the qualities of inner peace and success . . . This strategy for living works for virtually everything.
.
The Wayne Dyer videos that I had put into this and the other posts from this series were removed from YouTube – I am doing my best to replace them when I find suitable substitutes.
.
There are no coincidences . . . as you place more and more of your energy on what you intend to manifest, you start seeing those intentions materializing . . . you must hold on to the idea that you can negotiate the presence of these things by keeping your energy field always focused with love on what you passionately intend to create.
The law of attraction is put into play, and your thoughts literally attract energies . . . connected to God as you always are, you are a divine force that puts this synchronicity into your everyday life . . . what you think about is what expands; therefore, you’ll become more mindful and careful of what you think about.
This process of treating yourself, ‘as if’ begins with your thoughts, impacts your emotional state, and finally stirs you into action . . . thoughts to feelings to action, they will all react affirmatively when you stay inspired and get out in front of yourself in ways that are consistent with what you want to become. Declare yourself to be.
Treat everyone you encounter with the same intention. Celebrate in others their finest qualities. Treat them all in this ‘as if’ manner . . . Whether you think this is possible or impossible, either way you’ll be right And you’ll see the rightness of your thoughts manifesting everywhere you go.

“We can’t solve problems
by using the same kind of thinking we used
when we created them.”

The Seventh Principle: You Can’t Solve a Problem with the Same Mind That Created It
The same problems that repeat themselves in different relationships stem from limiting thoughts and beliefs. When you believe the habitual negative thoughts that run on autopilot, you can’t solve the same problems that keep coming up in different relationships. Your thoughts determine your feelings, which then determine your behaviors and actions.
Negative thoughts lead to not feeling good about yourself. When you behave and take action from feeling bad about yourself, you won’t get good results.
In order to solve relationship problems, you need to adopt a different mindset by questioning the negative thought(s) and replacing them with positive ones that are as or more true. For instance, if you believe there are no good men out there, you’ll continue attracting men who are not good for you. When you question this thought and see otherwise, you’ll open up the possibility to attract a good man.
Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life. You may not be able to change the world, but you can change the way you think about it. Change the way you think about something, and you change your relationship with that thing.
If your thoughts are filled with problems, chances are good you’ll perpetuate those problems.
Think about what you can do, not what you can’t do. Change your thoughts from problems to solutions, and watch your life change.

Three Levels of Consciousness
The first level is ego consciousness . . . primary emphasis is on your personality and your body . . . an exceptionally strong belief in your separateness from everyone else . . . prods you to compete compare . . . it’s at this level of consciousness that problems exist. This is where inner peace is virtually impossible and success eludes you.
The second level is group consciousness . . . you move past yourself as the central focus of your life, and you now include others who are members of your tribe or your clan . . . you’re required to think and act like the group . . . At the group consciousness level, you’re often dedicated to continuing social problems such as war, brutality, and religious persecution . . . But it also comes right down to daily living. Families insist that you adopt their viewpoint, hate whom they hate; love whom they love . . . Remember that you can’t solve any problem with the same mind that created it. In order to resolve a struggle that results from group consciousness, you have to change your mind or continue to have the problem haunt you. Resolving the problems related to group consciousness involves moving into the highest level.
The third level is mystical consciousness . . . this level of problem-free consciousness is distinguished by the feeling of connectedness rather than separateness . . . you feel connected to every individual, every creature, the entire planet, and God . . . cooperation supplants competition; hatred is dissolved with love; and sadness is reduced to nothingness with joy . . . you’re a nation of the world with a global awareness, rather than a patriot of any one country . . . you will have changed your mind! Problems will now be only illusions of the mind that you no longer carry around with you.

Bloggers, readers, meditation and mindful practice is AMAZING! Astounding!
.
According to Ricard …
“In the Western world, meditation means sitting under a mango tree in a blissed out state. The prevailing idea is that you have to sit down and empty your mind. It’s not that at all. You have to clean up a bit. We have so many wandering and intrusive thoughts. So you have to be in control of your own mind. Meditation means inner freedom. Inner freedom doesn’t mean following every chain of thought. It’s like a sailor who takes the helm and decides where to sail instead of drifting with the current. If you want to generate particular state of mind, you do what it takes.”
“There was a lot of activity in his left prefrontal cortex which indicates a huge capacity for happiness; this man is very unlikely to be making negative choices about his experiences,” says Neuroscientist Richard Davidson
.
“Meditation is not just blissing out under a mango tree but it completely changes your brain.”
The French genetic scientist left an intellectual life 40 years ago and moved to India to study Buddhism. He is now a western scholar of religion.
His daily routine of meditation made possible amazing brain scans that demonstrate that if he is meditating on compassion, Ricard’s brain produces a level of gamma waves never before reported within neuroscience literature.
.
NOW, here begins the really amazing part Gamma brain wave production is associated with consciousness, attention, learning and memory. We want to train our brains to increase peace and serenity and this changes the brain — It’s like we come into unifying Loving Light… after time… the brain changes (maintenance required).
.
FINDINGSHis skull was wired up with 256 sensors at the University of Wisconsin and its all been recorded — he’s got a happy and joyous mind — no doubt. Scans found excess activity in his brain’s left prefrontal cortex compared to its right counterpart, giving Ricard an abnormally large capacity for happiness.
.
.
FINDINGSA larger volume of a specific brain structure generally increases the abilities to carry out specific functions associated with that structure. This is widely accepted based on the assumption that greater numbers of neurons will produce larger outputs and therefore may be more influential than smaller numbers of neurons.
.
.
FINDINGS Researchers in neuroscience demonstrate that the prefrontal cortex plays a responsible role in forming of expectations based on actions and social control, predicting of outcomes, future consequences of activities, working toward goals, development of abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, abilities to determine same and different and better and best. Abilities to suppress urges that may lead to socially unacceptable outcomes are developed by this area of the brain. Meditation boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress!
Even people meditating for the first time will register a decrease in beta waves, a sign that the cortex is not processing information as actively as usual. After 20 minutes there is a huge decrease in beta activity — these brains are learning to be highly focused.
.
Matthieu Ricard: “Compassion is not just some high-minded flaky concept that Buddhist monks and New Age hippies bandy about, it’s a very practical way to operate in a world that is incredibly stressful for just about everyone.”
FINDINGSMindfulness meditation, one type of meditation technique, has been shown to enhance emotional awareness and psychological flexibility as well as induce well-being and emotional balance. Scientists have also begun to examine how meditation may influence brain functions. This talk will examine the effect of mindfulness meditation practice on the brain systems in which psychological functions such as attention, emotional re-activity, emotion regulation, and self-view are instantiated. We will also discuss how different forms of meditation practices are being studied using neuroscientific technologies and are being integrated into clinical practice to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress..
Share this one around… its time to change this world, one brain at a time… each to their own.
Let’s rid the world of social anxiety:
NOTE: Social anxiety is linked to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, psychosis (not otherwise specified), drug use, alcohol use, spontaneous violence, outbursts, character flaws, behavior problems, anger and rage; to name just a few dis-eases.
.
Let’s work on it together… mindfulness is a tool for awakening mental health.
.
FINDINGS Related to anxiety… this is empirical evidence… about Meditation benefits. These are FACTS: .
Personally, I am sure that practicing mindfulness meditation with some expert therapeutic guidance can speed healing of PTSD and possibly DID; maybe even NPD, BPD, and possibly even schizophrenia.
Meditation can speed recovery from grief.
It will probably heal some Anxiety NOS and episodic Depression.
Mindfulness can greatly decrease panic episodes… maybe cure it.
It can reduce Bipolar and Uni-polar disorder symptoms.

The Sixth Principle: Give Up Your Personal History
.
In other words, don’t let your past limit or define who you are, how you live, or what you accomplish in and with your life. Belief is a thought that you have repeated over and over again. A habit is a behavior that you have repeated over and over again. You cannot find the light by studying the darkness. Give up your personal history.
Dyer offers his opinion, based on his personal experiences in overcoming challenges. He says, “I have no advice on goal setting, putting your nose to the grindstone, planning your financial future, listening to us older folks, respecting your culture . . . Instead, what I offer you are ten secrets that allow your spirit to guide you.
Love for yourself. Love what you do. Love others.
Focus in meditation on love
Meditation Not Only Affects You
It Impacts Everyone Around You
When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. The more peaceful you become, the easier you may deflect the negative energies of those you encounter.
This is like having an invisible shield around you that nothing can penetrate unless it’s at a higher spiritual energy than your shield . . . A person who attempts to bring you into their misery cannot succeed without your agreement.
Your mediation practice keeps building immunity. Not only can you deflect the negativity of those around you, but your sense of peace will bring others into harmony with you . . . just being in the energy field of those who meditate raises the serotonin levels of the observers . . . The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you.
.

.
Understand that what you think about expands . . . If your thoughts are filled with doubt and you have a closed mind, you will of necessity act upon those closed mindedness doubts, and you’ll see evidence of your thinking virtually everywhere you are. On the other hand, should you decide (make no mistake about this, it is a choice) to have a mind that’s open to everything, then you’ll act upon that inner energy, and you’ll be the creator of as well as the recipient of miracles wherever you are.
No one really is a failure . . . fails at anything. Everything you do produces a result . . . Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love.
You will find your answers in the silence
Your past is over! By bonding to your past, you not only ensure that you’ll be immobilized today, but you prevent yourself from healing . . . with compassion, allow the words, wounds, and pain of the past to be written, embraced, examined, understood, accepted, and loved for all that you’ve learned and experienced. The act of . . . embracing it will give you the strength to transform the past into song, poem, paint, or ritual if you feel called to do those things, or to throw it away in your unique way.
You went through what you went through in order to get to where you are . . . and the evidence is that you did . . . embrace this . . . and understand this . . . accept this.
Become free to immerse yourself in this moment — the now that’s called the present — because it’s simply that — a present to open . . . relish, nurture, play with, and enjoy and explore your present.
Don’t let the elusive present moment get used up by thoughts that aren’t in the here and now . . . you can consume your now with thoughts of “then” and “maybe,” but that will keep you from the inner peace and success you could experience . . . Practice living in the moment, and refuse to allow any thoughts based on your past to define you.
Stop and take notice of all that’s in your immediate space — the people, creatures, vegetation, cloud formations, building designs, everything . . . be set upon releasing your personal history from your repertoire of available excuses for why you’re not living in peace.
Transcending labels, particularly those that have been placed on you by others in your past, opens you to the opportunity of soaring in the now in any way that you desire.
You can be all things at any present moment in your life . . . you’re not what you’ve done, what you’ve been, how others have taught you, or what has been done to you. You’re a part of the beloved, connected always to your source, and therefore connected to the unlimited power of the beloved.
“When you are born, your work is placed in your heart.”

The Fifth Principle: Embrace Silence
Try to give yourself the gift of silence now and then. It’s really the space between the notes that makes the music you enjoy so much. Without the spaces, all you would have is one continuous noisy note. Everything that’s created comes out of silence.
There’s a momentary silence in the space between your thoughts that you can become aware of with practice. In this silent space, you’ll find the peace that you crave in your daily life. You’ll never know that peace if you have no spaces between your thoughts . . . it is when you merge in to the silence and become one with it that you reconnect to knowing the peacefulness of silence with God.
The space between the 60,000 thoughts we are said to have every day is where peace is. How do you access those spaces? Learn to make them bigger through meditation, through training your mind. Your thoughts are your thoughts after all. You can control them.
Accessing More Silence in Your Life Make mediation a daily practice . . . Give yourself time to sit quietly alone . . . There are many opportunities to access silence. I try to meditate each time I stop at a red light . . . I probably stop at a red light 20 or 30 times a day, creating 40 minutes to an hour of silence. And there’s always someone behind me to let me know that my time is up.
Meditation Not Only Affects You. It Impacts Everyone Around You.

Not only can you deflect the negativity of those around you, but your sense of peace will bring others into harmony with you.
Just being in the energy field of those who meditate raises the serotonin levels of the observers . . . The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you. You will find your answers in the silence.
.
.
Our tendency is to over analyze everything and replay the details of what he said, why he said it, what went wrong. This makes it impossible to embrace silence.
Instead of rationalizing and asking your friends and family what to do without being you, just be you. Relax your mind. Open up the small spaces between your thoughts to silence. Learn about allowing and to listen to intuition.
The Wilderness Is Therapy Nature has a marvelous way of healing many maladies . . . Give yourself opportunities to be innature as a regular part of your life routine.
Keep Your Silent Communion with God to Yourself . . . ego can inhibit the creative process. For this reason, I urge you not to divulge your private insights, what you intend to create . . . When you talk about your emerging manifesting ideas and relate your insights to others, you often feel the need to explain and defend them. What happens is that ego has entered. Once the go is present, the manifesting stops. Silence is where manifesting occurs, so keep your potential miracles in the treasured silence that you embrace as often as possible.

Program Description In his video Dr. Wayne Dyer talks about the Ancient Wisdom understood by the Tao Te Ching. He expresses how the Spirit needs nothing and how we can Feel successful with no material objects in our world. The Spirit cares not about what it owns but about the progress it instills in the lives of all. * This is a must watch for Personal Development. “Change Your Thought, Change Your Life”.
.
Even one 10 minute change in your daily life may launch you on the way to making a big difference. Try it.
Here are 10 things that you might try:
Before you get out of bed, lie still; notice the parts of your body that feel tight and tense. Get up and take time to stretch your legs, your arms and your lower back. Breathe in with each stretching movement; release and relax.
Have breakfast outside on nice mornings.Being in nature can stimulate inner stillness.
Find a quiet place at home where you can read and relax in peace.
Sit and practice mindful meditation; just a 5-10 minute sessions for the first week to begin. Increase the time in a week.
Turn the radio off while you’re driving and give the act of driving your full attention.
Spend less time at your computer or turn off your mobile phone when you’re eating, sleeping, resting, driving and having important conversations.
Have technology free nights without the TV, computer, radio phone, or video games.
Take a few seconds to organize your thoughts before rambling onto conversation.
Go for a quiet walk — without the iPod. Allow yourself to get lost in the sounds of nature.
Enjoy the silence before you drift off to sleep. This will promote a feeling of calm, rest, and balance.
“In the resurrection we are assured that there are no doors that are eternally closed. Every time we close a door or one is closed on us, God opens another for us. The resurrection assures us that God never gives up on us, even if we give up on ourselves.”

The Fourth Principle: Don’t die with your music still in you
.
“Be enthusiastic about all that you do . . . enthusiasm literally means ‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).’“
.
Find your passion and follow it even if it means marching to your own drumbeat when it’s different from what everyone else or society says you should be doing.
Your left brain calculates, figures things out, analyzes, and comes up with the most logical choices for you. It thinks, thinks, thinks . . . Your right brain represents your intuitive side. This is the part of you that goes beyond reason and analysis. It’s the part of you that feels things, that’s sensitive to love, that’s emotional about what’s important to you . . . Your left brain can analyze it, while your right brain lets you feel it . . . there are times when what you feel will supersede what you know.
Your right brain will always lead you passionately to your purpose . . . Your intuitive inner voice keeps urging you to play the music that you hear so that you won’t die with it inside you . . . Listen to your music, and do what you know you have to do to feel whole, to feel complete,and to feel as if you’re fulfilling your destiny. You’ll never be at peace if you don’t get that music out and let it play. Let the world know why you’re here, and do it with passion.

The passion that you feel is God inside of you beckoning you to take the risk and be your own person . . . Rudyard Kipling declares, ‘If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same . . . yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.’
Being Passionate Means Taking Risks
You’ll find your passion in what inspires you the most . . . When you’re inspired, you never have to ask about your purpose . . . What is your passion? What stirs your soul and makes you feel like you’re totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place?
Know this for certain: Whatever it may be, you can make a living doing it and simultaneously provide a service for others . . . the only thing that will keep you from playing the music you hear and marching to the unique drumbeat you experience within, is fear.
The Myth of Failure
Failure is an illusion. No one ever completely fails. Everything you do produces a result .. . Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love. Love for yourself. Love for what you do. Love for others. Love for your planet.
When you have love within you, fear cannot survive . . . ‘Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.’
It can be a very scary step — starting to listen to those whispering voices about being more of who we really are. But doing so isn’t half as scary as getting to face our end with the question what if my whole life has been wrong. These were the the dying words of Leo Tolstoy’s character Ivan Illyich in The Death of Ivan Illyich. Wayne Dyer speaks about how this story inspired him to write himself a note, ‘Don’t die with your music still inside you.’
“How well do you see the world? Can you hear or see a thing or a person or an idea for what it truly is? Or does everything you perceive pass through a filter? And does that filter change what you see, like light that is refracted after passing through a lens?” ~ Jeremy Statton

The Third Principle: There Are No Justified Resentments
“Anytime you’re filled with resentment, you’re turning the controls of your emotional life over to others to manipulate . . . Resentments give you an excuse to return to your old ways. This is what got you there in the first place.”
.
Removing blame means never assigning responsibility to anyone for what you’re experiencing . . . you’re willing to say, “I may not understand why . . . but I’m willing to say without guilt or resentment that I own it, I live with, and I am responsible for, having it in my life.”
Why do this? If you take responsibility for having a resentment, then at least you have a chance to also take responsibility for removing it . . . or learning from it.
Be willing to send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way.
You would rather be kind than right
You have no need to make others wrong or to retaliate when you’ve been wronged . . . Your resentments will destroy you. Resentment lower your energy . . . Its too much work… first, you have to get past blame; then you have to work hard to work to send love rather than anger and resentment to someone that you now have a hate about . . . Become a person who refuses to be offended by any one, any thing, or any set of circumstances.
You’ll find your passion in what inspires you.
If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others.
When you judge another person, you do not define them. You define your-self . . . Stop expecting those who are different to be what you think they should be . . . When you respond with hatred to hate, you’ve become part of the problem, which is hatred, rather than part of the solution, which is love.
Love without resentment — readily offer forgiveness.
Love and forgiveness will inspire you to work at what you are for, rather than what you are against . . . When Mother Teresa was asked to march against the war in Vietnam, she replied, “No, I won’t, but when you have a march for peace, I’ll be there.”
.

.
Notice when your thoughts drift into the lower energy of ridicule or hate or guilt, and change the thought at that very moment if at all possible. If you’re unable to change the thought, then at least love yourself for what you did accomplish — that is, for noticing.
Thoughts of resentment, anger, and hatred represent slow, debilitating energies that will dis-em-power you. If you release them, you will know more peace.
Practice forgiveness for two reasons . . . 1) let others know that you no longer wish to be in a state of hostility; and 2) free yourself from the self-defeating energy of resentment.
Resentment is like venom that continues to pour through your system, doing it’s poisonous damage long after being bitten by the snake. It’s not the bite that kills you; it’s the venom.
You can remove the venom by making a decision to let go of resentments.
Send love in some form to those that you feel have wronged you, and notice how much better you feel in time — give it the time it deserves — give it until the resentment is lifted; removed; gone.
How much more peace you will have . . . there are no justified resentments if you wish to enjoy inner peace and maximize your success in life.

The Second Principle: You can’t give away what you don’t have
.
“Be enthusiastic about all that you do . . .
enthusiasm literally means
‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).'”
.
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. There aren’t many people who respond lovingly in that situation. The ones who do are able to because they have love to give away. They know that it’s impossible to give away what they don’t have, and they’ve gone that extra mile to acquire what it is that they want to both attract and give away.
If love and joy are what you want to give and receive, then begin by taking stock. What have you got to give away? What are you giving out to the universe, and thus, what are you attracting? Remember that you can’t give away what you don’t have, but you can change your life by changing what’s going on inside. When you have love within you, fear cannot survive . . . ‘Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.’
If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple. As the Beatles said: “The love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Low energy attracts low energy. Low energy thoughts, such as anger, hate, shame, guilt, and fear, weaken you. And they attract more of the same. By changing your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, you’ll attract more of the same, and you’ll have those higher energies to give away.
The Love Equation
To begin to change what’s inside you, become more loving toward yourself. In your thoughts, cultivate an inner voice and attitude that’s 100 percent on your team. Imagine an inner self that only supports and loves you. You might schedule a certain time of day when that’s the only thought that you allow yourself to pay attention to. Gradually this loving attitude will extend to other people. You’ll begin to receive this energy back and ultimately be able to send thoughts of love and joy to everyone and everything in your world.
Make a pact to remind yourself often of this secret of not being able to give away anything that you don’t have. Then work on your personal program of self-love, self-respect, and self-empowerment, and create a huge inventory of what you wish to give away.

The First Principle: Have a Mind That Is Open to Everything and Attached to Nothing
The scriptures say, “With God all things are possible.”
Now tell me, what does that leave out?
There are billions and billions of planets, objects, and stars in our galaxy alone, and there are uncountable billions of galaxies out there. We are a specks in an incomprehensibly vast universe that has no end to it . . . how can anyone be a pessimist in a world where we know so little?
An open mind allows you to explore and create and grow. A closed mind seals off any such creative explanation. Remember that progress would be impossible if we always did things the way we always have. The ability to participate in miracles — true miracles in your life — happens when you open your mind to your limitless potential . . . refuse to allow yourself to have low expectations about what you’re capable of creating.
Understand that what you think about expands . . . If your thoughts are filled with doubt and you have a closed mind, you will of necessity act upon those closed-mindedness doubts, and you’ll see evidence of your thinking virtually everywhere you are. On the other hand, should you decide (make no mistake about this, it is a choice) to have a mind that’s open to everything, then you’ll act upon that inner energy, and you’ll be the creator of as well as the recipient of miracles wherever you are.

From early childhood we have been conditioned to accept the world the way our parents, teachers, friends and culture tell us it is and this conditioning may make it hard for us to keep an open mind that’s not attached to the achievement of culturally accepted outcomes.
It’s possible to have a burning desire yet not have attachments. You can have an inner vision of what you intend to manifest and still detach yourself from the outcome . . . When you detach from the outcome, you’re at peace; and you’ll ultimately see the fruits of your convictions . . . Simply have a mind that is open to everything but attached to nothing. Let it all come and go as it will. Enjoy it all, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any thing, any place, and particularly, any person.
In all of your relationships, if you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be without any expectations or attachments from you, you’ll know true peace in your lifetime. True love means you love a person for what they are, not for what you think they should be. This is an open mind and an absence of attachment.

The above work is by Wayne Dyer Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace
Discover your divinity, find your unique talent, serve humanity with it, and begin to experience your life as a miraculous expression of divinity — not just occasionally, but all the time. You are to know true joy and the true meaning of success — the ecstasy and exultation of your own spirit.
.
Everyone has a purpose in life
….
a unique gift
or special talent
to give to others.
And when we blend this unique talent
with service to others,
we experience the ecstasy
and exultation of our own spirit,
which is
the ultimate goal
of all goals.
When you work
you are a flute
through whose heart
the whispering of the hours
turns to music.
And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth
with threads drawn
from your heart,
even as if
your beloved were to wear that cloth

This is the seventh Deepak Chopra law for success from his book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.
If you’d like,
open the series
from its beginning point
or continue along from here.
Each skill builds on the previous skill.
If you want to make maximum use of the Law of Purpose, then you will make several commitments. The first commitment is: I am going to seek my higher self, which is beyond my ego, through spiritual practice.
The second commitment is: I am going to discover my unique talents, and finding my unique talents, I am going to enjoy myself, because the process of enjoyment occurs when I go into timeless awareness. That’s when I am in a state of bliss.
The third commitment is: I am going to ask myself how I am best suited to serve humanity.
According to this law, you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing your specific talent. There is something that you can do better than most anyone else in the world — and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that makes you right to fulfill your purpose.
.
.
I will put the Law of Purpose (Dharma) into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
(1) Today I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
(2) I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When 1 express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.
(3) I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.
.
Summary of the 7 Laws The universal mind choreographs everything that is happening in billions of galaxies with elegant precision and unfaltering intelligence. Its intelligence is ultimate and supreme, and it permeates every fiber of existence. Everything that is alive is an expression of this intelligence.
Every cell has its birth in the Law of Pure Potentiality. DNA is a perfect example of pure potentiality; in fact, it is the material expression of pure potentiality. The same DNA existing in every cell expresses itself in different ways in order to fulfill the unique requirements of that particular cell. Each cell also operates through the Law of Giving. A cell is alive and healthy when it is in a state of balance and equilibrium. This state of equilibrium is one of fulfillment and harmony, but it is maintained by a constant give and take. Each cell gives to and supports every other cell, and in turn is nourished by every other cell. The cell is always in a state of dynamic flow and the flow is never interrupted. In fact, the flow is the very essence of the life of the cell. And only by maintaining this flow of giving is the cell able to receive and thus continue its vibrant existence.
The Law of Cause and Effect is exquisitely executed by every cell, because built into its intelligence is the most appropriate and precisely correct response to every situation as it occurs. The Law of Least Effort is also exquisitely executed by every cell in the body: it does its job with quiet efficiency in the state of restful alertness.
Through the Law of Intention and Desire, every intention of every cell harnesses the infinite organizing power of nature’s intelligence. Even a simple intention such as metabolizing a molecule of sugar immediately sets off a symphony of events in the body where precise amounts of hormones have to be secreted at precise moments to convert this molecule of sugar into pure creative energy.
Of course, every cell expresses the Law of Detachment. It is detached from the outcome of its intentions. It doesn’t stumble or falter because its behavior is a function of life-centered, present-moment awareness.
Each cell also expresses the Law of Dharma. Each cell must discover its own source, the higher self; it must serve its fellow beings, and express its unique talents. Heart cells, stomach cells, and immune cells all have their source in the higher self, the field of pure potentiality. And because they are directly linked to this cosmic computer, they can express their unique talents with effortless ease and timeless awareness. Only by expressing their unique talents can they maintain both their own integrity and the integrity of the whole body.
The internal dialogue of every cell in the human body is, “How can I help?” The heart cells want to help the immune cells, the immune cells want to help the stomach and lung cells, and the brain cells are listening to and helping every other cell. Every cell in the human body has only one function: to help every other cell.
By looking at the behavior of the cells of our own body, we can observe the most extraordinary and efficient expression of The Seven Spiritual Laws. This is the genius of nature’s intelligence.
In the series, I used descriptions and text from Chopra almost exclusively — because his work works as he wrote it. I just want to add this:
This is the language of God. If you begin with this and prayers and meditation to build a positive inner serene peaceful outlook then you are on your way to a deep understanding of the profound mysteries in life. The miracles — the seemingly supernatural occurrences — are natural — not really so unusual; not at all. If your science or if your education tells you otherwise, let it go — it may be flawed. You don’t need it if it isn’t bringing you inner peace, happiness, joy, and freedom to be who you are intended to be. The realization that you can be, do, and have the genuine you is extraordinary and exhilarating. Listen to your heart and when it tells you to get more positive, do that. You are meant to know your maker. This series is only about love. Do it that way.
Deepak Chopra observes in his book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, that desperate striving isn’t necessary or even desirable. To the contrary, this law says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it.
This doesn’t mean that you must give up the intention to create your desire.
You give up your attachment to the result.
This is a very powerful thing to do.
The moment you relinquish your attachment to the result, combining one-pointed intention with detachment at the same time, you will have that which you desire. Anything you want can be acquired through detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Attachment comes from poverty consciousness, because attachment is always to symbols.
From his book, “The 7 Laws of Spiritual Success“ — Chopra lays out another of seven laws of spiritual success — The Law of Detachment — one each day is recommended.
If you’d like, open the series from its beginning point or continue along here, the sixth day in the series. Each skill builds on the previous skill.
Detachment is synonymous with wealth consciousness, because with detachment there is freedom to create. True wealth consciousness is the ability to have anything you want, anytime you want, and with least effort.
In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
.
Put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.
2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.
3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

December is self-improvement month at this blog — let’s all get in touch with our best true selves and make this our month to end the year at our best. I’ll feature lots of content to improve the inner and outer us. Check back frequently.
From his book, “The 7 Laws of Spiritual Success“ — Chopra lays out another of seven laws of spiritual success — The Law of Intention — practicing one each day is recommended.
If you’d like, open the series from its beginning point or continue along here, the fifth day in the series.
Everything we do and think affects the people in our lives and their reactions in turn affect others. Getting every day grounded in a solution for my whole self is essential, I think. Thus, I declared for myself that December is a month for self-improvements. Thanks for looking in on my blog. I hope this post is helpful for you personally or someone that you know.
There is always abundant energy and information necessary for creating. We are so fortunate of being capable to accept training of our minds to become consciously aware of the abundance of energy and information. The lesson today is about tuning toward this energy and information to accept the tremendous enlightenment of effortless living in abundance.

The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
The seven spiritual laws aren’t difficult or mysterious but are easy to understand and to apply. Dedicate each day of the week to one of the seven spiritual laws. Develop a daily practice in which you meditate or take a few moments to quiet your mind, and then read the spiritual law of the day and practice applying it throughout the day.
The Law of Intention (and desire) Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment . . . intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.
This law is based on the fact that energy and information exist everywhere in nature. A flower, a rainbow, a tree, a human body, when broken down to their essential components are energy and information. The whole universe, in its essential nature, is the movement of energy and information. The only difference between you and a tree is the informational and energy content of your respective bodies. You can consciously change the energy and informational content of your own quantum mechanical body, and therefore influence the energy and informational content of your extended body—your environment, your world—and cause things to manifest in it. Intention lays the groundwork for the effortless, spontaneous, frictionless flow of pure potentiality.
.
Put the Law of Intention into effect making a commitment to the following steps:
1. I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
2. I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don’t seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those I have conceived.
3. I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

December is self-improvement month at this blog — let’s all get in touch with our best true selves and make this our month to end the year at our best. I’ll feature lots of content to improve the inner and outer us. Check back frequently.
This post continues to cover another of Chopra’s seven laws of spiritual success that are detailed in his book, “The 7 Laws of Spiritual Success“ — practicing one each day is recommended. If you’d like, open the series from its beginning point or continue along here, the fourth day in the series.
Many of us grew up with the belief that achieving success requires relentless hard work, grim determination and intense ambition. As a result, we may have struggled for years and even reached some of our goals but wound up feeling exhausted, our lives out of balance. Such desperate striving isn’t necessary or even desirable. In the natural world, creation comes forth with ease. A seed doesn’t struggle to become a tree―it simply unfolds in grace.
The seven spiritual laws aren’t difficult or mysterious but are easy to understand and to apply. Dedicate each day of the week to one of the seven spiritual laws. Develop a daily practice in which you meditate or take a few moments to quiet your mind, and then read the spiritual law of the day and practice applying it throughout the day.
The Law of Least Effort Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.
.
Put the Law of Least Effort into effect making a
commitment to the following steps:
1. Practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
2. Having accepted things as they are, take responsibility for any and all those events that seem to be problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.
3. Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.

This post covers Chopra’s Law of Cause and Effect from his seven laws of spiritual success that are detailed in his book, “The 7 Laws of Spiritual Success“ — practicing one each day is recommended. If you’d like, open the series from its beginning point or continue along here, the third day in the series.
Law of Cause and Effect This is commonly understood even in the West as Karma. “Karma” is both action and the consequence of that action; it is cause and effect simultaneously, because every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in kind.
Everyone recalls the expression, “What you sow is what you reap.” If we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness.
We must become consciously aware that the future is generated by the choices we are making in every moment of life.
Do this on a regular basis, making full use of this law. The more you bring your choices into conscious awareness, the more you will make those choices which are spontaneously correct — both for you and for those around you.
The energy flow of life is a harmonious interaction of all the elements and forces that structure the field of existence — that maintain reality. Because your body and your mind and the universe are in constant and dynamic change, stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood. Whenever blood stops flowing, it begins to clot, to stagnate. That is why you must give and receive in order to keep anything you want circulating in your life. Thus, the more you give, the more you will receive.
Deepak Chopra defines success as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. This definition is quite different to society’s rules for success, which is almost always connected to material gain or external recognition. Although these things are often the result of success, it is by no means the cause or even the definition of success.

The abundance of the universe is circulating in our lives. When choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others, the result is that happiness and success abound.
Here are three steps for putting the Law into effect:
1. Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.
2. Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice that I’m making?” and “Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?”
3. I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and for all those around me.

He embraced the mysterious ways of spiritual blessings from love. Stories like Dyer and others give me pause… love is of God… incomprehensible and yet, perfectly wonderful. This man and his work is of love.
Power urges you to live and perform at your own highest level, and it is compassionate. 
The same problems that repeat themselves in different relationships stem from limiting thoughts and beliefs. When you believe the habitual negative thoughts that run on autopilot, you can’t solve the same problems that keep coming up in different relationships. Your thoughts determine your feelings, which then determine your behaviors and actions. 
The second commitment is: I am going to discover my unique talents, and finding my unique talents, I am going to enjoy myself, because the process of enjoyment occurs when I go into timeless awareness. That’s when I am in a state of bliss.
This doesn’t mean that you must give up the intention to create your desire.
1. I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
