SECRET DO-WAYS TO HEAVEN (in no particular order: just Pick one and Do it.)

DREAM: There's an old Chinese proverb that says “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a simple step.” Choose where you want to go, and take one step in that direction. That's it. That's all you need to do. One step today, another tomorrow. You know the old riddle:- Q. “How do you eat an elephant?” A. “One bite at a time.”

BE PASSIONATE: When passion is ignited and fueled by Vision and Purpose, it rarely fails.

BE ON PURPOSE: Act with clear Intention. Your vision clears when you look and see with your heart.

BE BRAVE: Fear is the key indicator you're on the right track. Fear produces Courage – the kind that whispers “This is a new day; this is the moment you came for.” 

 

TAKE AIM: Take in the long, wide view – one moment, one hour, one day at a time. Think globally, act locally.

BE A CREATIVE YES-SAYER: Remember the dicta “We become what we come from. We become what we think and feel about. We become what we resist. We become what we embrace.” Say “Yes”. Attitudes are contagious: are yours worth catching? 

 

SIMPLIFY: Complexity is falsity. Distinguish between what's urgent and what's important. Never put things that matter most at the mercy of things that matter least.

LAUGH: It puts things into perspective, and floods sunshine into the darkest of days.

SPREAD KINDNESS: It's the hearts you touch that matter.

SING YOUR SONG: There's a Chinese proverb I like that goes = A bird does not sing because it has the answer: it sings because it has a song. What's your song?

LOVE: Make love your song, for Love is what-is. Love just is – justice.

RENEW YOUR SELF EACH DAY: Live each day as if it is the first day of your life.

BE AWARE: How do you return to the innocence of childhood? Let each moment rob you of your sophistication and ignorance. Let them go; you can't take them with you.....

….and

BE GRATEFUL: Every event, every encounter, every moment is an opportunity to practice the secret to accessing Happiness – Gratitude. An attitude of gratitude raises your altitude.

What ever you put out -- vision, direction, intention, willingness, adaptability. simplicity, laughter, kindness, soul, love and insight -- comes back to you. There's a Ruthless Rule of Reality that, stated in words, sounds something like this: If you spit in the wind, it'll land in your face. It's a extension of the universal physical law that there's no such thing as a straight line. Everything you put out will come back to you, sooner or later. Your words and actions boomerang, and you cannot duck them. 

 

Life is like a pillory: it has this habit of picking your fruits and pelting you with them. Will you welcome your fruits back? What you said and the energy behind what you said this morning to your partner ? Your parents? Your kids? To the arsehole who cut you off in traffic? And come back to you it all will, possibly not from the person you put them out to, but you'll cop it back, and probably when you least think you deserve it.

 

You will reap what you sow – a hundredfold. That, too is L-A-W law.
