60489No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Daily Intention
Today I will live outside of self. I will not make it about me. I will listen, share, help, understand, and draw boundaries. I will help build a safe container for others. I will give my ear, my heart, and my smile. Today I will ask myself how I want to be remembered instead of how I can be accepted.
Today, I will live / give.

Turn Your Dial (give mode)
This does not mean to rid your wants. Wanting is healthy. It’s living in a constant want / take mode that can be disruptive. You become powerless. A few examples of taking are seeking approval, wanting something in return, fishing for compliments, dominating conversations. Of course, the obvious, wanting a bigger house, better job, etc. It’s okay to want these things. But when your wants begin to define who you are, you become powerless = frustrated = unhappy.

If at first you don’t succeed, do it like your mother told you.

There are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.
