in a way that aligned with the highest good of self and
others.”

4. Self-Reflect
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and
over again and expecting different results.”
~Albert Einstein

5. Assess Your Life Balance

6. Take Responsibility
"Everything you do is based on the
choices you make. It's not your
parents, your past relationships,
your job, the economy, the weather,
an argument or your age that is to
blame. You and only you are
responsible for every decision and
choice you make.”
“
~Wayne Dyer

7. Bring Your Attention
to the Present
“Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what
happens outside. If you get the inside right,
the outside will fall into place.”
~Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

8. Detach from
Ego & Negativity
”The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but
the thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are
thinking. Separate them from the situation,
which is always neutral. It is as it is.”
~Eckhart Tolle

9. Let Go of Defensiveness
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness,
that most frightens us.”
~Marianne Williamson

“Feelings are waves of energy which we can
choose to surf, rather than allow them to overcome
us.”

Possible

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
~Buddha

or they take you down.”

As Opportunities For Growth
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only
through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be
strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
