Life is to be lived. Lived before you die. Don't waste a second of this precious gift. You're here for a reason. Never stop asking why. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt the guard here are seven things. I need to tell you about life. Number one, life is not meant to be so serious, make time for Fun For Joy, for play, Alan Watts. Once said, this is the real secret of life to be completely engaged with what. What you are doing in the here. And now and instead of calling it work, realize it is play. Don't trust anyone. That tells you life has to be serious. Don't believe anyone that says there is no time for fun. Joy laughter in every or any day when you are young life is nothing but fun. The important lesson most of us adults still need to learn is that life is not meant to be so serious. Can easily forget that our lives do not last forever. This is why it is important to remind yourself. One day, you like all other humans will die when we remind ourselves of our certain death. When we remind ourselves of the fact that we do not know when it will all end. When we really take that in the impermanence of it all, maybe then maybe. Then we can start taking everything, a little less seriously. Most people are struggling so hard to get the job to get the extra money so they can impress people who they really don't like and those people really don't care about them or about any of that. Anyway because they're doing the same thing searching for one achievement that one amount of money that will make everything better. But money doesn't make us feel worthy, only we can do that. That maybe we don't need to stress so much about our weight, our skin, our bank account, or what other people think of us. I challenge you to look at life, not as a struggle, or a strain, or a destination that is somewhere else needing to be reached but a journey, a challenge to see How much joy you can squeeze out of every day then whether or not you get the big house or the fancy car, it won't matter will it because no matter what happens you will have what most don't three things money can never buy joy, peace and passion for life. Create a life. That feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good. Good on the outside.
It is during our darkest moments that. We must Focus to see the light. Number two, circumstances will never Define you unless you decide to let them. Let me tell you a little life fact, if you are blessed enough to reach adulthood, there is a 100% chance. Yes, 100% chance that life will dis you up some things that you did not plan for nor did you want in your life experience, these things are called character-building moments life. Ins challenges sent maybe to give you a life more meaning, maybe just something you need to deal with, in your own time in your own way, Wayne Dyer. Once said, if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change when you change the way you look at, He's life challenges, sometimes you will find, they are not problems or misfortunes, but read the directions sometimes blessings. Maya Angelou said, you may not control all of the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them, don't fight against life when challenges come as I guarantee, they will see if you can continue to give your best to the The present moment in front of you.
Be open to the fact that you do not know how anything will turn out including this hard moment in front of you trust that it was for the best for you or for someone else. See if you can find meaning in any of it, even the hardest moments.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Number three, if you don't learn to control your mind, your mind will control you. The Buddha said the mind is everything, what you think you become and that is not an extreme statement. Humans are said to have over 60,000 thoughts a day. That is not the problem. The problem is most people People are having these thoughts on autopilot, and many of them are not positive. Most people are programmed by Society. By the news channels by social media, they believe everything they read. They are reactive and win a challenge appears in their life. They don't know how to handle it because they don't know how to think for themselves rather than responding calmly and sensibly to fix a small challenge. They Acting anger, and escalate the challenge into a monster problem, learning to control your mind, and to control your emotions is key to living a life in control, not in control of circumstances, but in control of how you feel about them, which is more important than being in control of circumstances because that is something you have no control over. You control your mind and emotions through daily rituals consistent self work every day repeating, powerful processes that are proven to promote, calm, positive feelings meditation, daily, gratitude, prayer, exercise, detoxing from all negativity, specifically news negative influences and social media. All of these things are crucial to living a beautiful life. Life. Ultimately, every individual is responsible for how they feel next time you react, in Anger know that it is. You that needs to do more work, not the circumstance or the person that made you angry, no matter what is going on around the world inside your world, it can be a magical peaceful place. If you're not going with the flow, you're going too slow, number four, make a plan. But go with the flow as well. Jim Rome once said, if you don't design your own life plan chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan and guess what? They have planned for you. Not much planning, doesn't mean being attached to the outcome though. If you plan to take your umbrella on a wall to deal with the rain but your umbrella breaks learn how to dance in the rain. What does it have to do with your life? Well, most often in life, you want to avoid getting wet as in, you want to avoid getting in financial trouble. Having health issues, having relationship or emotional problems. Having a bad day or a bad week, bad year or labeling your life as bad. How do you avoid the rain of life? You avoided by planning not for circumstances to be perfect but planning to do the work on you every single day planning exercise and healthy eating. So your body is strong healthy and vibrant planning daily rituals like meditation gratitude prayer journaling or anything else? That puts you in a great space? All of these things have a And compounding effect on your life. The people you attract the relationships, you attract and strengthen how you feel about yourself. Now, of course, not everything always goes to plan, so when he challenged appears, when the rain of Life comes down, learn how to dance in the rain, how the flow with it, and most importantly plan to get back on track. As Benjamin. Franklin once said, if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. Number five, you'll never be able to please everyone. Yes. That's right. Even Mother Teresa has haters no matter how pure your soul is unfortunately. The reality of human beings is that we are all so different and because of those great differences we are all vibrating on very different level. And some people are just not ready for kindness. Peace compassion. Some people aren't ready for anything positive. Don't let that get to you, it's nothing personal. It's just the very fact that everyone is so different. And from there difference in upbringing, circumstances and environment. Come differences of opinion and differences in reactions just because they don't agree with you or even if they are against you. You or your ideas doesn't mean you can't find a way to either get along with them or let them go their own way in peace. The very thing you don't want to do is fight back and bring more negative energy to any situation, let those who differ from you, differ from you. Be an example of someone who allows all others to have their opinion without being affected. Move on with your life without, hey, there is no need for everyone or anyone to agree with you. Be so busy, improving yourself that you don't even notice. Negativity, coming your way be so focused on making a positive difference in the lives, of those who want to hear from you that you fail to hear from those who don't. Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken number 6, you won't be happy if you're being someone else trying to fit in with others. Be yourself and do it with pride. Genuine happiness will never come to you. If you are changing who you are to please other people, you cannot be genuinely happy. If you are not genuinely, you be comfortable being you around. Everyone in anyone. All the wrong, people will leave you, and that's okay. Because the right people will stay the right people as in those who love the real. You? Exactly, as you are as dr. Seuss said, be who you are and say what you feel? Because those who mind don't matter and those who matter, don't mind how people treat you is their karma. How you react is. Number 7, those who are stuck in their own misery, will try to drag you into their dark hole. Don't let anyone steal your joy. Wayne Dyer said, loving people live in a loving World hostile. People live in a hostile World, same world. The nature of some human beings is that they don't want to see you happy because they haven't yet achieved. It for themselves. Many people live in a hostile universe and perhaps unknowingly perhaps unintentionally will try to drag you into this hostile universe. So they are not alone in their never change who you are and drop down into this hostile world. If you remain true to you committed to this loving Universe, you live in, committed to your own well-being, your own peace, joy, and Magic. You are living in every day. Sooner or later all those people will stop trying to drag you down and instead ask you to help them up to your world, be the light for others to find their way. Be the example that changes not only your life, but others through your own positive life experience. Eleanor, Roosevelt said
I can make you feel inferior without your consent. Don't allow the bitterness of others inside your heart. They don't want to be there, either. They need someone to show them the way. So many people are hurting and they hide that hurt with bitterness and judgment.
Wherever you can in any day in any moment, these at light for someone else, lighten, their day with your genuine kindness. Even if they don't give it back be a positive example for this world.
For most of us, our experience of life is always trying to get somewhere else somewhere other than where we are. We're trying to make it to achieve something, something that will make everything better. We're all trying to get that person. That house that job. That award that thing that will change everything. Very few of us are present, very few of us. Enjoy the moment. We are actually living in because most of us are hoping for some better future moment, somewhere else. That is not here somewhere else. That is better than this moment, but what if there is nowhere else? What if That somewhere else never comes. What if it does come and it doesn't change how we feel, what if we achieve everything we believe we want yet still feel empty. What if that place we are all seeking is really only a feeling. What if we could stop seeking and start feeling how we want to feel without needing anything? What if that feeling of Hortense, we seek is all in illusion, a construct of the
To live too. Few of us live with purpose and meaning. Thich nhat. Hanh said, people say walking on water is a miracle but to me walking peacefully on Earth. The real Miracle, too many of us are walking around this Earth frantic stress-filled and meaningless. We should open our eyes and realize, we're not here for long, and we are all one. We should practice the peace. We want to see show the love. We want to feel and be the person we want to be Wayne. Dyer, said, loving people live and loving World hostile. People live in a hostile World. Same world. It's a choice. It's a We are living in the same world and some of us are living in a loving way and some in a hostile way. We're not here for a long time. Let's make it a joy-filled time. You want more time to yourself. Good spend more time by yourself. If it's important to you, it's important to your world. It will make you better and that will make those around you. Better too. We should remind ourselves that we are all dying. Never, should we carry the burden of hate of regret or disappointment? We only have this moment and this is the only moment we can decide to free ourselves from the past and live fully now is the only moment

It's not the magic pill but it will bring a feeling of magic into your life if you live by it. It's not a winning lottery ticket but if you live by these principles you won't need a winning lottery ticket or any amount of money because how you feel will be the reward and no amount of money can buy a beautiful existence. No amount of money can buy a feeling of contentment. No amount of money can buy peace or Joy. What is this way of living? It's called. Non jar in 0n. J a are living in a state of complete non judgement non-attachment and Assistance to whatever shows up in your life. Let's dive deeper into these principles. If you give me your attention for the next few minutes, I promise it will be a game changer for you non-judgment. How often do we human beings judge every situation and Circumstance that comes into our lives as good or bad? How often have we all judge situations and circumstances? We perceived as bad at the time, but But really they led to something that ultimately changed our lives for the better. Maybe it was a breakup that was devastating at the time but when looking back seems like the biggest blessing, maybe it was a job loss or a difficult time financially that we labeled and judged as bad at the time. But if it did not happen, we would not be in the great position we are in now or doing what we now. Oh love think of an example in your life where you have judged a situation or circumstance negatively but it turned out to be a blessing in some way think of a time when you've judged a person in some way and looking back, you were wrong to do. So the truth is we do not know anything. We can judge and label situations all we like We do not know anything. We can't possibly know the greater lesson or future blessing any situation has for our life in the moment. It happens when we step back especially in difficult situations and observe, rather than judge, we can respond better with more love for others, with more love for the situation and most importantly. With more love for ourselves. When we respond in presence, rather than in judgment, we can respond better and the flow-on effect will mean a better life a life with more.
Non-attachment. It has been said that attachment is the source of all suffering. Every human being is guilty of this at some point but perhaps more. So the ambitious ones or the Achievers Among Us. It's those situations in which we are so attached to the outcome that we identify with it. And if the outcome doesn't work out as planned, we get upset depressed or Maybe feel a loss of our sense of self. You might have experienced this feeling when being attached to a person in a relationship or being attached to a certain financial position being attached to how you are perceived by others being attached to a result. You've been working towards non-attachment doesn't mean we don't own things, it means we don't allow things to own us. We? Allow thoughts and emotions and ideals to own us. Non-attachment is being able to live and thrive in this world without being attached to any person, any thought feeling emotion or any outcome in any way, not being attached to anything being any certain way. That means being non attached to any emotion that shows up as well. So many of us beat ourselves up for getting angry upset. Sad down or simply not at our best. As if the first emotion wasn't bad enough. We punish ourselves for feeling it. Living in non-attachment we allow the emotion to take place. Be witness to it and watch it dissolve. We witnessed the emotion, not judge, it just like non-judgment living in non-attachment means living with complete freedom and Detachment to what happens whatever circumstances arrive you accept them as if you had chosen them except Them. Does that mean, you give up seeking the things you want, it means whatever happens. You accept, while you continue to work toward the things, you really want with presence and clarity. When you live in non-attachment, many of those things you thought you wanted fade away because you realize they're in significance. And that only leaves what is really important. Being attached to anything being a certain way drains you of your power. A Zen proverb that beautifully sums this up says consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or Desiring them. Never to depart, if your heart can be like this, you will be near to the way.
Non-resistance Eckhart? Tolle says non-resistance, does it mean doing nothing? All it means is that doing becomes nonreactive, he says, remember the Deep wisdom underlying the practice of Eastern martial arts. Don't resist. The opponent's Force yield to overcome much like non judgment and not Attachment living in a state of non-resistance means you do not resist. What happens? You no longer fight. What is, what could be more draining of Life energy than fighting? What is there is nothing. It is why what you resist. Persists fighting against creates more energy for the thing. You are fighting against. Just letting go accepting and importantly, stepping back and being aware of what is actually happening. Gives you power reacting not in anger or resistant with focus and presence gives you power to change any situation. When we truly live by these principles our life and our world around us instantly becomes clearer with a greater sense of peace and understanding, everything becomes lighter and our reactions become clearer. It affects not only our life and our immediate surroundings, but the entire planet because what could be more powerful than one person living in a beautiful state th
