To Do List

1. Go Within

Trust is within ourselves; it takes no rise from outward things, whate’er you may believe.

there is an inmost centre in us all,

Where truth abides in fulness; and around,

Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,

This perfect, clear perception---which is truth.

A baffling and perverting carnal mesh

Binds it, and makes all error; 

and , to KNOW,

Rather consists in opening out a way

Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape, 

Than in effecting entry for a light

Supposed to be without.

~Robert Browning

2. Be Still and Know

...it is silence that will lead you into profound stillness, and it is stillness that attunes you to the still, small voice of intuitive guidance.

~Michael Beckwith

There is a guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.

~Emerson

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

~Eckhart Tolle

3. Take Your Foot Off the Brake

The only decision you have to make is the decision to begin.  The decisions “what to do” and “which way to go” should not be made; they should be discovered.

~Eric Butterworth

..take the brakes off, throw away the rearview mirror that only sees the past, and live the life you were destined for.  

~Michael Beckwith

4. Give Thanks

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” 

~Thornton Wilder

5. Live With JOY

Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within

~Eckhart Tolle

6. Stay Present

Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. 

~Wayne Dyer

7. Let Love Guide You

To love is to recognize yourself in another.  

~Eckhart Tolle

8. Exercise Trust

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.  So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.  You have to trust in something---your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.  This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.  

~Steve Jobs

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

~Richard Bach
