Friends

We all need a best friend.

SKEPTIC

Listen to all, plucking a feather from every passing goose, but, follow no one absolutely.

Sanskrit Proverb

Look at this day, for it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the realities and verities of existence, the bliss of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power.

For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well lived, makes every day a dream, a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

In the pursuit of learning,
every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less is done
Until non-action is achieved.

Beginner's Mind

Curiousity and wonder are the best cure for boredom.

Helen Keller

"No pessimists ever discovered the secret of the stars,
or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit."

Learned Optimism

Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think.

~Martin Seligman

Positive Psychology given credence by Academia:

Positive psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

Commentators on the subject Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, note that:

"The field of positive psychology at the subjective level is about valued subjective experiences: well-being, contentment, and satisfaction (in the past); hope and optimism (for the future); and flow and happiness (in the present).

At the individual level, it is about positive individual traits: the capacity for love and vocation, courage, interpersonal skill, aesthetic sensibility, perseverance, forgiveness, originality, future mindedness, spirituality, high talent, and wisdom.

At the group level, it is about the civic virtues and the institutions that move individuals toward better citizenship: responsibility, nurturance, altruism, civility, moderation,tolerance, and work ethic."

Compassion

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."

~Plato

Take a deep breath

Feel the stress leave your body.

Living Well

Guiding principles:

Change is a constant
adapt to survive and thrive
flexibility is the master skill
habits are the key to lifestyle and accomplishment
we can change current habits and form new habits
a simple life is a satisfying life.
