- Latest Review: "Followed my Star" by AR Annahita
Congratulations on making Book of the Month. What a great way to start the year!
Yours is the first letter I've read on the site, yet can tell it's set a high bar with a wealth of inspiring messages. I also believe words are best appreciated when put into deed. To that end, I am taking to heart your insights below. Some I'm doing, others, I need to amp up and for those that got away, the list below will serve as a reminder to initiate
1. Want more in life? Keep giving.
2. Tune into the everyday gurus in life and grow richer with every experience.
3. They're not teaching anything new. Only reminding us of what's been forgotten.
4. Sharing wisdom is more fulfilling than most.
5. Every so often, slow down for a moment and ask:
- Who am I right now, where am I going and why?
- Is what I'm doing really working for me?
- Am I being an expert at something that isn’t taking me to where I truly should be going?
Simply asking these can lead to the next breakthrough.
6. Approach life more playfully. Curiously. Enriching life lies in enriching one's point of view.
7. Be not concerned with how to improve the world, rather with how to improve yourself - then you will improve the world.
8. Get out of your own way, rise above habitual thinking and be receptive to deeper understandings. Stand aside and look at everything including yourself differently.
9. When living with exclamations (insisting you have all the answers), hell on earth is created. When willing to live with questions, one is pointed toward heaven on earth.
Thank you for sharing the light. I look forward to reading your book!
Best,
Shiva Sagar
