There is no rule that says you have to be doing a million things at once. No where in the nonexistent life handbook is there a statement that tells you to worry about everything that has yet to happen.
Once you begin to analyze the situation, you’re creating an imaginary outcome.
You can’t control everything, and you can’t go back in time and change anything. These are not bad things.
Trusting in something bigger than you let’s you focus on your tasks. You don’t have to worry about the how. You don’t have to get overwhelmed with the details.
Look for the lesson. There is beauty in horrible situations if you look at it objectively and you always have the option of removing yourself from my situation or person that drains your energy and brings you down - it’s liberating!
"Don't just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything." ~ George Carlin
As you sow, so shall you reap.
Life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation.
You can’t change something if you refuse to accept it.
When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit and change too.
We must take responsibility for what is in our life.
Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance, as they were both needed to accomplish the task.
You cannot think of two things at the same time.
Give without expectation of receiving anything in return.
Looking backward to examine what was, or forward to worry about the future, prevents us from being totally in the here and now.
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons we needed to learn.
True joy comes from doing what we’re supposed to be doing, and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.
The true value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it.
1. Be adventurous; move outside your comfort zone
2. Be kind to yourself and respect yourself
3. Don’t fear mistakes and failure. They are part of a rich life
4. Smile and laugh often; have a positive outlook
5. Play to your strengths, and use your gifts and talents

7. Ask for help when you need it; a true friend will always care
8. Don’t let people distract you from your visions, dreams and goals
9. Don’t bear grudges; don’t be bitter; forgive others – and move on
10. Always strive to be better, and to stretch and grow through life.

When communicating keep in mind your experiences, such as, feelings, thoughts, & behaviors might be differ from others.
Thoughts and emotions if not handled properly can get in the way off effective communication.
It’s easy to misunderstand what the other person is communicating. We tend to react to what we think they are saying.
Passive
Overview: those who communicate passively tend to be submissive and compliant. They don’t expresse their feelings or thoughts.
Consequences: give into others and don’t get what they want.
Aggressive
Overview: person will be demanding and hostile. They come of rude and insensitive. At times they can use intimidation to get what they want.
Consequences: upset others and becomes angry and resentful. People will distance themselves.
Passive-Aggressive
Overview: this type of person will say what others want to hear to evade conflicts, but at the same time they will feel anger and resentment.
Consequences: creates future problems for not following through what was established during communication.
Manipulator
Overview: here the person will make others feel guilty to obtain what they want. Other times the communicator will play the victim as well.
Consequences: upsets other people and loses their trust and respect.
Affirmative
Overview: this type of person has healthy communication. They express their needs and emotions in a direct, respectful and honest manner. They actively listen to others and take responsibility for what they say.
Consequences: good relationships and effective communication.
Be specific when speaking.
Use “I” statements.
Decribe what you heard and observed instead of judging.
Politely ask the other person what they understood. This helps prevent future misunderstandings.
Provide positive feedback.
State your limits and boundaries in the beginning.
Saying “no” does not make you a bad person. There are ways of saying it respectfully, for example:
I’m sorry, but I can’t take on anything else at the moment.
I’m busy, maybe some other time.
I would love to, but I have too much on my plate right now.
At this very moment I can’t, but let me point you to the person who might be able to help.
Keep in mind these responses are enough. You do not need to further explain anything.
These type of statements help communicate your thoughts and feelings without verbally attacking or acusong the other person. When we are upset we communicate defensively. For example:
Wrong: You can’t continue arriving late! You’re not considerate and completely disrespectful!
Correct: I become worried when you are late. I feel Iike you aren’t considering how I am feeling. How can we arrive to an agreement?

The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions; it is mentioned in the Rigveda,but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India’s ascetic and śramaṇa movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Upanishads. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE,but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century. Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra.

“You are the ever-present field of witnessing consciousness that effortlessly perceives the passing phenomenon of change; yet remains unaffected by change.” ~Anon I mus (Spiritually Anonymous)
Pure awareness is self-illuminating and self-referral; an observing presence existing prior to our thoughts. We cannot be our thoughts, for we are that which is aware of its passing. Thoughts, feelings and sensory perceptions cannot think or exist independently without an observer.

Imagine for a second that you own a boat. You give small tours for a living.
One night, things are slow, you get a phone call from a local fisherman.
He’s come across something. A very large whale that is trapped.
It’s been ensnared in some type of wires. It appears to have been trapped for some time. It is exhausted and struggling to breathe.
