Tips for inspiring life

  1. *Practice is king: Only practice leads to real knowledge.
  2. *Perfection: World is perfect--nothing to fix. I am perfect--nothing to change. Remember this always!
  3. *Focus on positive: Develop good habits, ignore bad habits. Instead of eliminating bad habits work on developing good habits. What you resist persists!
  4. *Beliefs: Beliefs are just thoughts that you keep thinking. This is true about human culture, which is a large collection of beliefs. This is true about all religions, which are also a collection of beliefs. The belief that your beliefs were send by and demanded compliance to by a higher power of some sort is also a belief. Family "wisdom" passed down the generations is another source of irrational beliefs that need to be examined critically.
  5. *Be here now: Present moment is all there is! Use it to really enjoy your life and be nice to others. Love, laugh, be nice -- and do something useful!
  6. *Morning is wise: Get up early – your life is calling! Finish your bath/shower, meditation, and asanas before 8 am.
  7. *Final thought: Remember the quote from Stewart Brinton: spirituality is not a course in literature. See the "practice is king" Vortex above.
