A list to remind myself of what I have learned.
1. The big picture: systems theory, oneness, interconnectivity.
2. Impermanence: nothing is fixed or permanent.
3. Mind, body, soul: nourish, challenge, replenish daily.
4. Polarities of life: dark/light, night/day, masculine/feminine
5. Beauty is everywhere: just look, smell, feel, taste, listen and experience.
6. Practise greatfullness: my situation is pretty good… life is a gift, not a curse.
7. Happiness/success: two sides of the same coin. Success is a self- determined process; happiness is an attitude.
8. Peace/violence: begins and ends in the here and now. Our choice…
9. Uncertainty: there are things that cannot be known and not knowing is okay.
