Life is a gift, so precious that not all individual has the opportunity to live and savor every bit of it.
It may last for a short while or in a long gap of years.
Value your life because you can never have it back.
1. Live each day deliberately.. You can trace all sin back to thoughtlessness. You were caught off guard and ended up off target; certain situations (cheating, lying, damaging) seemed to be good because you were not perceptive enough, you did not see things as they really are. You cannot love what you do not know. It takes time and energy really to understand. Above all, it takes stillness.
2. Do what you are doing. Put all you've got into it. Live on the spot where you are.
Are you sweeping the floor? Then sweep as if the whole world depended on it.
Are you playing ball? Then play with all your might.
Are you enjoying the company of a friend? Then drink and commune until you are seized by joy.
Are you suffering? Then embrace it gladly and fill up what is it that you want or need.
3. Stop doing half the things you are doing in order to do the other half contemplatively, that is, with loving awareness. Action without contemplation is blind. Our actions must be selective and informed. Doing must be an overflow of being. The only valid form of work is contemplative action.
4. Get up early in the morning. Get a jump on the day. Take charge of your life. Do not let too many things happen to you. Recollect your scattered energies and solitude of early morning, be consciously rooted in and refreshed and then move into the day creatively.
5. Have a good read. Otherwise you will be beaten to death by the trivia of the unreal world. Learn and discover more everyday.
6. Enjoy as much beauty as you can. Waste time festively with your beloved or your friends. Stretch out in the park. Go to a museum and savor the art. Listen to good music. Take a long, loving look at a child, an old man, a beautiful girl. Live and P\play with reckless abandon.
7. Work as creatively as you can, injecting more and more meaning into it, treating everything reverently. Your whole life is your life. Where there is no love, put love, and you will find love.
The path is simple and clear. Convince yourself, decide, desire!
make your effort and your struggle specific, and persevere with love and faith.
