Things I learned from [insert spiritual mind-expanding experience here]
From the Archives of My Mind…

1- Breath audibly – it is the sound of life.
2- Wear bright colors; they are much more uplifting. Why do we try to look so damn serious?
3- Appreciate the fun and beautiful little things in life, like soap bubbles.
4- Take care of your body, it the only vessel you have. Without it you can’t experience all of this!

1- Don’t judge people on their appearance. Some of the smartest, wisest people with the most experience to share may first look like idiots to you if you’re not careful. Don’t write anyone off – everyone has something to teach.
2- Things that happen, decisions we make in life effect our reactions and future decisions. Each prior experience affects the next. But like pressing a stamp into clay, each new one makes the last one disappear. We are essentially the writers of our own destiny. The burdens we are born with do not predetermine our future. Stop perpetuating them.
3- Do not live life as if there is a camera watching. No one really cares all that much and it’s much less anxiety inducing.
4- Stop defending the ego. Let the ego rest – think objectively.
5- Be friendly to people. We are all in this together. Don’t be so self-absorbed.
6- If you let go, things are not as scary. Just give in to the thing you are afraid of and it loses all it’s power…shrinking like a deflated balloon. There is really nothing to be afraid of! Everything is an experience – get on the ride.
7 -Everyone likes to be touched. Stop keeping everyone at such a distance.
