Transforming the Quality of Life
A Mastery of Life Newsletter
Life doesn’t just happen. We interact with life in a very particular way which produces a very particular result. When you change how you relate to life, you change what happens around you.
Follow these ground rules and watch what happens.
1. Be positive
The words you speak and the thoughts you accept determine how you see life. You then act consistent with the way you see life and life responds accordingly. If you want a life that works, don't speak negatively or accept negative thoughts about yourself, other people or your life. Don't speak or think negatively unless you want your words and thoughts to come true.
2. Accept yourself
You are the way you are whether you like it or not. Until you make peace with the way you are, you will never make peace with life. Accept every aspect of yourself, particularly the aspects that you don't like. Allow yourself to experience the hurt and the feelings of being worthless and not good enough. Allow yourself to be human. Then see the love and the beauty that you are, just the way that you are.
3. Let go
When you resist the way life is, you get upset and lose your ability to see clearly. You destroy love and make your situation worse. To restore both your effectiveness and your peace of mind, let go of your demands for how life should be and flow with the way life is. Be willing to experience all the hurt and the emotion that your circumstances reactivate. Then do whatever you need to do.
4. Express your love
To have love, you have to open your heart and give love. Accept and appreciate people just the way they are. Be like a child. See the love and beauty in everyone. As you express your love for people, people will automatically be more loving toward you.
5. Accept full responsibility for your life
When you accept full 100% responsibility for what happens in your life, you have power and can take effective action. Others may also be responsible, but when you blame someone else, you give that person your power. You make yourself a victim and lose your effectiveness. When you see your role in a problem, you can see what needs to be done. This makes you very effective.
6. Forgive yourself
At the moment you did whatever you did, you saw life in a very particular way. If you were wiser and more aware, you would have acted differently, but you weren't. You only knew what you knew. So, forgive yourself for not being wiser and more aware. Forgive yourself for acting consistent with your limited awareness. Know that you did the very best you could with the limited equipment you had at the time.
7. Handle what doesn't work
When an aspect of your life isn't working, you lose your aliveness and peace of mind. Unworkability exists because we tolerate it. List all the items in your life that aren't working and handle each one as fast as you can. Clean up your environment, your relationships, your health, and your finances. Handle every aspect of your life that isn't working.
8. Let go of resentment
Forgiveness is not for the other person, it's for you. When you resent, a part of you closes down inside. You become bitter and lose your ability to love. Resentments are a subconscious tool that we use to avoid hurt. Once you are willing to feel your hurt, the need to resent disappears. You can then forgive. Forgive the person for not being wiser and more aware. Forgive the person for acting consistent with his or her limited ability.
9. Don't overspend
Upsets about money seem to be due to a lack of income, but this is seldom the case. Most people in the world would love to have your level of income. Upsets about money are almost always due to overspending. When spending exceeds your income, you can expect to get upset. To create a life of prosperity, make sure you spend less than you earn and appreciate what you have.
10. Find something special to go for
When you have something special to go for, life becomes an exciting adventure. You have direction and a reason for living. If you have nothing to go for, life feels empty and meaningless. So, find something to go for. Find it as fast as you can. Then go full speed to have your dream come true.
11. Serve - Have your life be about more than you
When you put focus on yourself, upsets and problems grow. When you focus on serving, upsets and problems dissolve. Find something more important than you and throw yourself into it. Have your life be about contributing and making a difference.
12. Experience your spirituality
Love is your life force. The source of love is God. Create a personal relationship with God and allow yourself to be guided. Be still and listen. Pray and trust your intuition. Find what allows you experience the presence of God and do it often. Give your life to God and learn to love.
